Barcelona Registers Bardghji, Prepares Valencia, PSG Matches Amid Injury Setbacks

The 2025-26 UEFA Champions League group stage presents a challenging lineup for Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) as they face strong opponents including Bayern Munich, Barcelona, Tottenham Hotspur, Newcastle United, Athletic Bilbao, Bayer Leverkusen, Atalanta, and Sporting Lisbon. Barcelona is preparing for key fixtures against PSG and Newcastle, but their squad faces injury setbacks, with midfielder Gavi sidelined until potentially the October 1st clash with PSG. A major blow for PSG is the injury to star winger Ousmane Dembélé, who is expected to miss up to six weeks, ruling him out of the crucial Champions League match against his former club Barcelona. On a more positive note for Barcelona, La Liga has approved the registration of summer signing Roony Bardghji, allowing him to be available for the September 14 match against Valencia and potentially for Champions League fixtures, providing a boost to their attacking options amid ongoing financial and registration challenges. The registration of Bardghji and other summer signings offers Barcelona a more complete squad to combat their early season struggles and refocus on defending their La Liga title.
