"FC Barcelona have revealed their starting lineup for the clash against Girona, and as expected, Hansi Flick has had to make significant changes to his attack due to injuries. With Robert Lewandowski, Ferran Torres, and Dani Olmo all unavailable, Flick has turned to Marcus Rashford to lead the line. The English forward will be supported by Lamine Yamal on the right and Toni Fernandez on the left, offering pace and creativity in the attacking third."
"In midfield, the big surprise is the inclusion of Marc Casado, who will be tasked with supporting Frenkie de Jong and Pedri. Despite the heavy workload both De Jong and Pedri have carried so far this season, Flick has decided against resting them, underlining the importance of securing all three points against Girona. Barcelona are keen to respond following their heavy defeat against Sevilla in the previous league matchday."
FC Barcelona will start Marcus Rashford up front after injuries to Robert Lewandowski, Ferran Torres and Dani Olmo, with Lamine Yamal on the right and Toni Fernandez on the left. Flick opted for Toni Fernandez over other attacking options like Fermin Lopez, showing faith in the youngster’s ability to influence the game from the start. Jules Kounde occupies right-back while Eric Garcia and Pau Cubarsi form the centre of defence to provide stability. Marc Casado joins Frenkie de Jong and Pedri in midfield, who will not be rested. Wojciech Szczesny starts in goal, and the bench includes Xavi Espart, Eder Aller and Jofre Torrents.
