"Rashford is in the team. If someone can't play, he can come in. I hope he can show in England what he did on Sunday. I've followed Marcus since Manchester United. What I've seen in the first few weeks has been very good and has a little more potential to show. It's very good to have him in the team. He's an incredible, fantastic player."
"Elsewhere on the Barca forward line, Flick needs to decide whether Ferran Torres or Robert Lewandowski will start through the middle. Torres has led the line in all four of their games so far, but Lewandowski scored twice as a substitute against Valencia. "I have to watch the training session and then I need eight hours of rest to decide," Flick said of his dilemma up front."
"Barca will be without Yamal for their Champions League opener at St James' Park due to a groin injury that also kept him out of their 6-0 thrashing of Valencia last weekend. Rashford played on the left in that rout, laying on an assist for Raphinha. Flick essentially confirmed he will start against Newcastle and is hopeful the England international can have a major influence as Barca aim to earn a positive result in what is likely to be a raucous atmosphere on Tyneside."
Lamine Yamal will miss Barcelona's Champions League opener at St James' Park with a groin injury that also kept him out of the 6-0 win over Valencia. Marcus Rashford, who played on the left and assisted Raphinha in that rout, is set to replace Yamal and start against Newcastle. Hansi Flick praised Rashford's early performances and potential, calling him an incredible player. Flick must also choose between Ferran Torres and Robert Lewandowski to lead the attack; Torres has started four games while Lewandowski scored twice as a substitute against Valencia. Flick will watch training and requires eight hours of rest to decide, and he expects a highly intense Newcastle atmosphere led by Eddie Howe.
