"FC Barcelona suffered a heavy defeat against Atletico Madrid this week and will need a major comeback in order to reach the Copa del Rey final. However, the Blaugrana are obliged to turn the page on the painful defeat and look ahead. Hansi Flick's team travels to face Girona at Montilivi this Monday with the objective of recovering their best form and maintaining top spot in La Liga."
"The English forward, one of Barcelona's best performers in their last league game against Mallorca at the Spotify Camp Nou, missed the clash with Atletico Madrid due to discomfort in his left knee caused by a knock he picked up in that encounter. The issue was never serious, and his absence was described as a precautionary measure. However, Rashford has not returned to training since missing the Atletico Madrid clash, and as such, he is set to be unavailable against Girona on Monday."
Barcelona must move on from a heavy Atletico defeat and travel to Girona on Monday aiming to regain form and protect their La Liga lead. Hansi Flick's squad trained in the penultimate session before the match, with Raphinha working with the group and expected to join the traveling squad, though not guaranteed a start. Marcus Rashford missed training again and is effectively ruled out after left-knee discomfort from a prior knock; his absence was precautionary but he has not returned to training. Pedri, Gavi, and Andreas Christensen remain sidelined by injury and unavailable.
