The Spanish football team "Barcelona" faces heavy losses before today's match against "Getafe." The Catalan representative will travel to Madrid without five key players from the main squad.
Idman.Biz reports that "Barça," which is currently leading the tournament table by a nine-point difference, is facing a critical test on the way to the championship. However, the team's brightest star, Lamine Yamal, has ended the season prematurely due to a thigh injury he suffered in the last round's match against Celta.
Head coach Hansi Flick stated at a press conference that Andreas Christensen and Rafinha, who are injured with knee problems, will also not participate in this match, in addition to Yamal. Also, Mark Bernal, who suffered a serious ankle injury, is not expected to return to the lineup.
In addition to the injured players, Eric Garcia will also miss the trip to Madrid due to suspension. In Yamal's absence, 20-year-old Runi Bardji is expected to appear in the starting lineup in the attack. Flick emphasized that the Swedish young talent is ready and will have more chances.
The good news is that Joao Cancelo, who was expected to be out due to injury, has recovered and been included in the squad. Also, Alexandro Balde and Ronald Araujo in defense, and Frenkie de Jong in midfield, are expected to return to the starting lineup.
