Paris Saint-Germain forward Bradley Barcola will be sidelined ‌for several weeks after ‌suffering a severe ‌right ankle ligament ‌sprain during Tuesday’s Champions League ‌match against Chelsea in London, the ‌French club said on ⁠Wednesday.

Barcola ‌was substituted in the ​59th minute by Desire Doue ​in PSG's 3-0 hammering of Chelsea for ⁠an ​8-2 aggregate win in their last-16 tie, having scored the second ‌goal of the night.

PSG will play either Liverpool or Galatasaray in the quarter-finals with the first leg being played on April 7 or ‌8.

The injury is likely ​to also rule ‌the 23-year-old Barcola out of France's friendly games against Brazil and Colombia next ⁠week.
