"With the second international break of the 2025/26 season now behind us, FC Barcelona will return to action on Saturday, when they take on Girona in the Catalan derby. Leading up to the game, however, Hansi Flick & co. find themselves with a plethora of injury issues, even though Lamine Yamal and Fermin Lopez are set to return. Robert Lewandowski and Dani Olmo came back injured from national team duty and are out for a few weeks,"
"Meanwhile, Mundo Deportivo reports that key winger Raphinha is still not back in training and is all but ruled out of the game against Girona. Furthermore, his availability for the subsequent UEFA Champions League clash against Olympiacos also remains highly doubtful. The 28-year-old attacker suffered a hamstring injury in late September, during the game against Real Oviedo, and has since missed three matches in all competitions."
FC Barcelona return to action against Girona amid numerous injury concerns. Lamine Yamal and Fermin Lopez are set to rejoin the squad, but Robert Lewandowski and Dani Olmo came back injured from national team duty and will be sidelined for a few weeks. Ferran Torres returned with an overload yet is expected to be available for the weekend. Raphinha remains absent from training after a late-September hamstring injury, has suffered a rehabilitation setback, and is unlikely to feature against Girona or Olympiacos, with hopes he may return by the El Clasico on 26 October. Andreas Christensen, Roony Bardghji and Frenkie de Jong have resumed training; Marcus Rashford, Pedri and Pau Cubarsi are due back.
