"Barcelona are back in La Liga action with a match against Girona after a challenging international break that left many of their key players sidelined due to injuries. The so-called "FIFA virus" has once again disrupted the squad, with Ferran Torres, Robert Lewandowski, and Dani Olmo all unavailable for this weekend's clash against Girona. These absences put Hansi Flick in a difficult position as he tries to field a competitive side."
"Barcelona face another defensive challenge as both Marc-Andre ter Stegen and Joan Garcia remain sidelined. This makes it certain that Wojciech Szczesny will be guarding the goal for the Blaugrana. In defence, Flick has more options. A likely arrangement could see Eric Garcia and Pau Cubarsi forming the centre-back pair, with Jules Kounde as the right-back and Gerard Martin on the left."
Barcelona return to La Liga with a depleted squad after an international break that left several key players injured. Ferran Torres, Robert Lewandowski, and Dani Olmo are unavailable for the Girona clash due to the so-called "FIFA virus". Girona secured its first win of the season against Valencia and sits second-from-bottom despite that victory. Marc-Andre ter Stegen and Joan Garcia remain sidelined, so Wojciech Szczesny will start in goal. Defensively, Eric Garcia and Pau Cubarsi could pair at centre-back with Jules Kounde at right-back and Gerard Martin at left. Frenkie de Jong and Pedri are expected to control midfield.
