Barcelona's Gerard Pique fit to face Paris Saint-Germain?

By Ben Knapton, Senior Reporter | 15 February 2021

Barcelona manager Ronald Koeman confirms that Gerard Pique is in with a chance of returning to the squad against Paris Saint-Germain after his knee injury.

Gerard Pique could potentially make his comeback for Barcelona in Tuesday's Champions League last-16 first leg with Paris Saint-Germain.

The veteran defender has been out of action since leaving the pitch in tears against Atletico Madrid on November 21, and there were fears that he could be sidelined for the rest of the season with that knee injury.

However, Pique has been pictured in training with the rest of the Blaugrana squad, and Ronald Koeman has confirmed that the Spain international could have the chance to play in midweek.

Speaking to reporters at a press conference, the Barca manager said: "Gerard's looking good. He's been training with us for 4-5 days and the feeling is good regarding how his physical level is but I still have one more day to decide.

"He's been out for a long time, we'll talk and we'll decide tomorrow."

The hosts will have to make do without Ronald Araujo, though, with Frenkie de Jong being forced to deputise in central defence against Alaves in La Liga at the weekend.

Pique made 10 appearances across all competitions and scored one goal in the Champions League this season before his injury.
