The France international had been sidelined for a month after suffering a severe ankle ligament sprain in the Champions League last-16 second leg against Chelsea.He subsequently missed PSG’s last three matches in all competitions, as well as France’s friendlies against Brazil and Colombia in the United States.The Champions League holders take a 2-0 lead into Tuesday’s second leg at Anfield. Each time we have a player coming back from injury, it’s always good news.“He’s (Bradley Barcola) been out three weeks and has been working hard to get back and we’ll have to see how he’s feeling today.
He’s on his way back and training with the team.”Paris Saint-Germain were due to face Ligue 1 title challengers RC Lens either side of their Champions League meetings with Liverpool, but the match was postponed after their request was approved by the authorities.Lens’ objections were rejected by the Ligue de Football Professionnel, with PSG prioritised during a congested schedule as they continue their Champions League campaign.The Parisians head into the tie in strong form, winning five straight matches and keeping clean sheets in their last three away games, while scoring in every away fixture since the start of the year.Enrique previously guided PSG to a 1-0 win at Anfield in last season’s last-16 second leg, before his side progressed on penalties.Even a narrow defeat in the second leg would still be enough for PSG to reach the semi-finals, where they would face either Real Madrid or Bayern Munich.
