Barcelona midfielder Fermin Lopez will be sidelined for around three weeks due to a muscle injury sustained in training, resulting in a limited midfield roster for Hansi Flick.
The absence of Lopez, alongside Dani Olmo's expected five-week recovery from a hamstring injury, complicates Barcelona's preparations for upcoming Champions League and La Liga matches.
Pedri remains the only senior midfield option available, while young players like Pablo Torre and Marc Casado are expected to step up in the face of injuries.
Frenkie de Jong and Gavi continue to recover but are not ready for matches, leaving Barcelona in a precarious situation ahead of their schedule.
