The Barcelona squad is off this Monday. Even so, the injured De Jong, Pedri, Ronald Araújo and Christensen went to the training center to continue their treatments with a view to the Champions League match.
The four players are looking for the best physical conditions to be available to Xavi in the clash against Paris Saint-Germain, in the quarter-finals of the Champions League. The first leg takes place on the other Wednesday, at 4 pm (Brasília time), in France.
Midfielders Frenkie De Jong and Pedri have been sidelined since the beginning of March, when they were injured during the match against Athletic Bilbao, in the Spanish Championship, on the 3rd.

Christensen missed the Spanish club’s last two commitments and was left out of the Danish team. Ronald Araújo had already been absent from Uruguay during the FIFA date and watched Barça’s 1-0 victory over Las Palmas, last Saturday, from the bench.
Gavi also carried out activities at CT this Monday, but the young player is already out of the season due to a rupture in the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee. The athlete just continued his recovery plan.
Barcelona will not take the field this weekend due to the Copa del Rey final between Atlhetic Blabao and Mallorca. With this, the Catalan team can focus all its efforts on the European competition.
