"Barcelona have been hit with more bad news on the injury front as Alejandro Balde and Jules Kounde have both been sidelined with injuries sustained in the Copa del Rey win over Atletico. Hansi Flick is now going to have to make changes to his backline for the coming weeks and has plenty of decisions to make."
"The German coach will be able to recall Eric Garcia, after he missed the Atletico game due to suspension, with the versatile star able to play at right-back or center-back. Gerard Martin is another player who can be used centrally or out wide, while Joao Cancelo can play on either side of the defence."
"Pau Cubarsi put in a stellar showing against Atletico and looks set to continue in the heart of the defence, with Ronald Araujo an option following his return to action."
Barcelona's defensive options have been significantly impacted following injuries to Alejandro Balde and Jules Kounde sustained during their Copa del Rey victory over Atletico Madrid. Manager Hansi Flick must reorganize the backline for upcoming matches. Eric Garcia becomes available after missing the Atletico match due to suspension and can operate at right-back or center-back. Gerard Martin offers flexibility playing centrally or on the wing, while Joao Cancelo provides defensive cover on either flank. Pau Cubarsi demonstrated strong performance against Atletico and is expected to maintain his central defensive position. Ronald Araujo represents an additional option following his recent return to competitive action.
