"The Barcelona forward finished the game against Real Sociedad with discomfort in his hamstrings and will therefore miss the Champions League fixture. He joins Lamine Yamal on the list of absentees for Barcelona, with the youngster unavailable on Wednesday due to suspension. At this stage, the injury is considered minor, and Ferran has not been ruled out for Sunday's LaLiga match against Real Oviedo, although his availability will depend on how he progresses over the coming days."
"His absence, thus, will come as a significant blow for Hansi Flick, who will have to lean on an unfamiliar attacking trio against Slavia Prague. Robert Lewandowski is set to lead the line as centre-forward, with Roony Bardghji on the right flank and a now fully recovered Raphinha on the left. Dani Olmo and Marcus Rashford are the alternative options available for the attacking line."
Ferran Torres will not travel with Barcelona to Czechia for Wednesday's Champions League match against Slavia Prague after finishing the Real Sociedad game with hamstring discomfort. The injury is currently considered minor, and his availability for Sunday's LaLiga match against Real Oviedo will depend on his recovery over the coming days. Lamine Yamal is also unavailable due to suspension. Torres previously missed several weeks in mid-October with a hamstring overload. Torres has scored 15 goals and assisted once in 27 appearances this season and had become first-choice striker ahead of Robert Lewandowski. Barcelona will field an unfamiliar attacking trio of Lewandowski, Roony Bardghji and a recovered Raphinha, with Dani Olmo and Marcus Rashford as alternatives.
