"Barcelona return from the international break and begin a huge week with a Catalan derby against Girona in La Liga action at the Montjuíc Olympic Stadium. The Blaugrana are looking to rebound from two bad losses to PSG and Sevilla before the break and will play a big European game at home against Olympiacos and then travel to the Spanish capital for the first El Clásico of the season next weekend, so picking up three points against a struggling Girona side is a must."
"Dani Olmo's injury and the other (many) absences in midfield and attack might force Flick to do something he hasn't done in a while and start Pedri in the number 10 spot, which would give Marc Casadó a chance to start alongside Frenkie de Jong in the double pivot. Lamine Yamal and Ferran Torres will be available for this one but might not start this one to be ready for the Olympiacos and Real Madrid games,"
Barcelona return from the international break to face Girona in a Catalan derby at the Montjuïc Olympic Stadium. The team seeks three points after consecutive losses to PSG and Sevilla and faces Olympiacos and Real Madrid in quick succession. The defensive unit remains fully fit with Jules Kounde, Alejandro Balde, Ronald Araujo and Pau Cubarsí available to start. Midfield absences could push Pedri into the number 10 role with Marc Casadó partnering Frenkie de Jong in midfield. Attack choices are limited: Raphinha is unlikely to be fit, Robert Lewandowski is out for a month, and a front three could feature Roony Bardghji, Fermín López and Marcus Rashford.
