"Barcelona" head coach Hans-Dieter Flick addressed the team's high injury load ahead of the match against Athletic Bilbao in the 27th round of the Spanish La Liga.
"I'm not happy with the injury situation. We need to understand what needs to be improved. But it's always my responsibility. It's not the doctors or physiotherapists, it's my responsibility. If something happens, I talk to everyone about it so that we can improve in the future and not repeat similar mistakes. Sometimes you make mistakes, it happens. It's an unpleasant situation that happens at such important moments, but it also gives other players the opportunity to show their qualities.
As a result, we have high-quality players from La Masia and we have experience working with them. We need to share the workload and maybe other players will play tomorrow," - Sport.es quotes Flick.
The Catalan club's injury list before the match against Athletic includes Jules Kounde, Alex Balde, Andreas Christensen, Frenkie de Jong, Gavi and Robert Lewandowski.
