The clash against CA Osasuna was supposed to take place three weeks ago but was rescheduled after the tragic death of Barca라이브 바카라 team doctor Carles Minarro.
As a result, the Catalan club had to cut short their international break by three days, and will enter a congested schedule with a depleted squad. The club is due to play in nine big games in the next 28 days, and the medical team will have their work cut out to prevent injuries in an already thin squad.
Several players have been ruled out of the Osasuna match due to injury or fatigue, including defender Ronald Araujo, Raphinha, Andreas Christensen, Marc Bernal, Marc Casado, and Marc-Andre Ter Stegen.
With a defence that is already light on senior players, manager Hansi Flick is also sweating the fitness of Pau Cubarsi, after the youngster picked up an ankle injury on international duty.
“Eric (Garcia) and Inigo (Martinez) will play, and Pau will be on the bench,” Flick said. “We need him, and I think it라이브 바카라 better for him to rest for a day or two. He needs those days. The injury isn’t very serious, but he needs more recovery.”
The match against 14th-placed Osasuna is vital for the Blaugranas. They are currently top of the table courtesy of a healthy goal difference, tied on 60 points with Real Madrid. However, Barca have a game in hand, and a win in Thursday라이브 바카라 match will open up a three-point gap at the top.
The Blaugranas are on an 18-game unbeaten run and have won their last seven league games. As such, they will go into the Osasuna clash as favourites. Los Rojillos will be missing Bryan Zaragoza, who suffered a right thigh injury on international duty.
However, Barcelona have a history of stuttering against lower-level teams before, and Hansi Flick will need to be cautious against complacency. They have won their last four league games against Osasuna, and FCB will look to make it five out of five on 27 March.
