Liverpool have overcome Galatasaray to reach the quarterfinals of the Champions League, setting up a repeat of last season’s Round of 16 clash against Paris Saint-Germain. Ahead of the tie, PSG have been dealt a major injury blow as winger Bradley Barcola will miss several weeks after spraining his right ankle against Chelsea in the Champions League last 16.

Bradley Barcola, who suffered a severe ligament sprain in his right ankle during yesterday’s match against Chelsea, will be out of action for the next few weeks.” Barcola, who scored PSG’s opening goal in the 3-0 away win that sealed an 8-2 aggregate victory, has 12 goals this season. His injury is set to rule him out of the Champions League quarterfinals, where PSG will face either Liverpool.

PSG travel to Nice on Saturday before the international break, while Barcola will also miss France’s friendlies against Brazil and Colombia. PSG return to action against Toulouse on April 3, with the Champions League quarterfinal first leg scheduled the following week.
