"Barcelona will attempt to respond to back-to-back defeats when they welcome Levante to Camp Nou in Sunday's La Liga contest. Hansi Flick's side sit second in the table, two points behind leaders Real Madrid, while Levante occupy 19th position and trail safety by seven points. The Catalan outfit have endured a difficult spell, suffering a heavy Copa del Rey semi-final first-leg defeat to Atletico Madrid before losing 2-1 to Girona in the league."
"Barcelona have been boosted by the return to training of Marcus Rashford and Pedri, although neither is expected to start. Gavi has also resumed group work following a long-term knee injury, but Andreas Christensen remains unavailable. Alejandro Balde is in contention to return at left-back, while Robert Lewandowski could lead the attack as Flick considers changes after the Girona defeat."
Barcelona sit second in La Liga, two points behind Real Madrid, after a Copa del Rey semi-final first-leg loss to Atletico Madrid and a 2-1 league defeat to Girona. The club faces added pressure ahead of the home match against Levante. Barcelona have a strong head-to-head record versus Levante, having lost only six of 46 meetings and winning 33. Levante are 19th, seven points from safety, have lost three straight league matches, and concede the most goals in the division with 41 conceded. Rashford and Pedri have returned to training but are unlikely starters; Balde may return and Christensen is unavailable. Levante are missing Roger Brugue and Pablo Martinez, with Kervin Arriaga suspended and Etta Eyong pushing for a starting spot.
