Barcola out for several weeks after injury against Chelsea as the World Cup approaches

Bradley Barcola on the sidelines.

Injured during the second leg of the Champions League round of 16 against Chelsea, Bradley Barcola will be out "for the next few weeks".

This puts a bit of a damper on the celebrations. Last night, Paris Saint-Germain claimed a 3-0 victory at Chelsea's ground, securing a qualification that had already seemed likely after the first leg.

On that note – PSG delivers another blow at Stamford Bridge and advances to the quarter-finals

Starting the match, Bradley Barcola scored his team's second goal in the 14th minute with a powerful shot into the top corner.

But around the hour mark, the French international had to leave the pitch, visibly injured, and was replaced by D9sir9 Dou9. PSG confirmed the diagnosis in their medical update, and the news is far from encouraging.

"Bradley Barcola suffered a severe ligament sprain in his right ankle during yesterday's match against Chelsea and will be unavailable for the next few weeks."

No exact timeline has been given, but it's enough to rule Barcola out of the upcoming France national team camp. Didier Deschamps' squad list will be announced tomorrow at 2:00 pm.

Now the question is how long the PSG player will be out, especially with the World Cup fast approaching...
