Injuries to Koundé, Eric Garcia and Christensen bring Àlex Campos a first senior call-up

Barça Atlètic captain Àlex Campos has received his first senior Barcelona call-up from manager Hansi Flick for Tuesday's UEFA Champions League clash against Paris Saint-Germain. The 18-year-old center-back was included alongside reserve forward Hamza Abdelkarim to address a severe defensive shortage. Eric Garcia and Jules Koundé both sustained injuries during Saturday's domestic win over Real Betis, joining sidelined defender Andreas Christensen on the casualty list, while Gerard Martín also remains a fitness doubt.

With Pau Cubarsí serving as Barcelona's only fully fit senior central defender, Flick suggested midfielders Rodri and Frenkie de Jong could potentially fill in. Campos, who joined Barcelona's La Masia academy in 2021, extended his contract through 2029 this past summer. Barcelona heads into the Parc des Princes match pursuing a 12th consecutive victory this season before contesting El Clásico against Real Madrid on Sunday, October 25.
