Team news & squads
Barcelona team news
Barcelona are currently dealing with a significant injury crisis, with seven players unavailable for selection. The latest setback is Bernal, who suffered an ACL injury, confirmed on Wednesday, and is set to undergo surgery.
Andreas Christensen, Eric Garcia, Ansu Fati, Ronald Araujo, Frenkie de Jong, and Gavi are also sidelined, leaving Hansi Flick with limited options for rotation.
However, the coach is expected to hand a full debut to Dani Olmo, who made a substitute appearance against Rayo Vallecano. Two additional changes may be in the lineup: Fermin Lopez is likely to replace the injured Bernal, while Alejandro Balde could step in for Gerard Martin in defence.
The rest of the back four will likely remain unchanged, with Jules Kounde excelling at right-back and Pau Cubarsí and Inigo Martinez looking good as a centre-back partnership despite a couple of mistakes in the early exchanges against Rayo.
Barcelona possible XI: Ter Stegen; Kounde, Cubarsi, I Martinez, Balde; Fermin, Pedri; Yamal, Olmo, Raphinha; Lewandowski
| Position | Players |
|---|---|
| Goalkeepers: | Ter Stegen, Pena |
| Defenders: | Cubarsi, Balde, Martinez, Valle, Christensen, Lenglet, Kounde, Garcia |
| Midfielders: | Pedri, Torre, Lopez, Olmo, Gundogan, Casado |
| Forwards: | Torres, Lewandowski, Raphinha, Vitor Roque, Victor, Yamal |
Real Valladolid team news
Real Valladolid will still be without Anuar Tuhami, but otherwise, the squad is in excellent condition ahead of this weekend's matchup.
Juanmi Latasa, who joined from Real Madrid over the summer, is eager to earn a spot in the starting lineup after coming off the bench against Leganes, but he may need to wait a bit longer.
Ivan Sanchez is another player that Pezzolano could consider for potential adjustments, though it wouldn't be surprising if the same starting XI from Wednesday is retained. This would mean Raul Moro and Amath Ndiaye continuing to support Mamadou Sylla in the attacking third.
Real Valladolid possible XI: Hein; Perez, J Sanchez, Boyomo, Rosa; K Perez, Juric, Amallah; Ndiaye, Sylla, Moro
| Position | Players |
|---|---|
| Goalkeepers: | Ferreira, Hein, Aceves |
| Defenders: | L. Perez, Torres, J. Sanchez, Boyomo, Comert, Rosa |
| Midfielders: | Meseguer, K. Perez, De la Hoz, Machis, Juric, Amallah, Chuki |
| Forwards: | Sylla, Andre, I. Sanchez, Moro, Latasa, Biuk, Ndiaye, Kenedy |
