According to Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona's young full-back Espart felt discomfort in his ankle during the match against Paris Saint-Germain and was substituted in the 74th minute. However, the dressing room hopes he will be fit for Sunday's match against Real Madrid.
Espart was one of the standout players against Paris, but he was substituted in the 74th minute with the team trailing 2-1, the outcome still in doubt, and Barcelona in control of the game. The substitution was a precautionary measure due to the young full-back's ankle discomfort, but the dressing room expects him to be available for Sunday's match against Real Madrid.
The substitution was somewhat surprising, as Espart was having an excellent game, but it was interpreted as managing his minutes ahead of the Clásico. After coming off, Espart immediately spoke briefly with the team physio. Given the upcoming Clásico, it was better not to take any risks.
Eric García is confirmed out, and Koundé is doubtful due to a left ankle sprain. Therefore, at the full-back position, if Espart cannot play, Flick will only have Cancelo and Balde available. Balde was precisely the player who replaced Espart, and he has had very limited playing time this season.

We are doomed with Gerrad Martin at CB anyway. Should not have let Araujo leave without replacement in the first place.
