"The next Barcelona match is upon us! The Blaugrana are in Belgium for a crucial Champions League game against Club Brugge, and Hansi Flick has called up the following 21 players for Sunday's clash: Goalkeepers: 25. Wojciech Szczesny, 31. Diego Kochen, 33. Eder Aller Defenders: 3. Alejandro Balde, 4. Ronald Araujo, 5. Pau Cubarsí, 18. Gerard Martín, 23. Jules Kounde, 24. Eric Garcia, 42. Xavi Espart"
"Flick is able to call upon the same 21 that were in uniform against Elche at the weekend, but that's not necessarily good news as Andreas Christensen, who rejoined the group for training on Monday after a slight calf issue, is not quite fit enough to return and misses out on this one, as do Joan Garcia (knee), Raphinha (hamstring), Pedri (hamstring), Marc-André ter Stegen (back) and Gavi (knee) due to injury."
"Predicted starting XI (4-2-3-1): Szczesny; Kounde, Cubarsí, Eric, Balde; Casadó, De Jong; Yamal, Fermín, Rashford; Ferran The match kicks off at 9pm CET/WAT (Barcelona & Nigeria), 8pm GMT (UK), 3pm ET, 12pm PT (USA), 1.30am IST (India, Thursday), and you can join us to follow and comment all the action."
Barcelona travel to Belgium to play Club Brugge in a Champions League clash. Hansi Flick named a 21-player squad that mirrors the group used against Elche. The squad includes Szczesny, Kounde, Lewandowski, Lamine Yamal, Marcus Rashford and creative midfield options such as Frenkie de Jong and Dani Olmo. Andreas Christensen returned to training but is not fit enough to be selected. Joan Garcia, Raphinha, Pedri, Marc-André ter Stegen and Gavi are also unavailable due to injury. A 4-2-3-1 predicted lineup places Szczesny in goal and Ferran leading the attack, with kickoff times provided across time zones.
