FC Barcelona gears up for its upcoming match against Elche, welcoming back key players Robert Lewandowski and Dani Olmo. This significant matchup takes place this Sunday at Montjuïc Stadium, coinciding with the 11th round of LaLiga.
Injury Updates Ahead of the Match
Lewandowski has successfully recovered from a hamstring injury, while Olmo returns from a calf muscle strain. Both players are included in the squad list announced by head coach Hansi Flick.
Team Challenges
Despite these vital reinforcements, Barcelona faces considerable challenges due to multiple injuries within the squad. The following players will be unavailable for the game:
- Marc-André ter Stegen
- Joan García
- Gavi
- Raphinha
- Andreas Christensen
- Pedri
Notably, Pedri is expected to be sidelined for several weeks due to a left hamstring injury sustained during the recent Clásico. This leaves Flick needing to adapt his lineup, possibly integrating young talents from Barça Atlètic.
Looking Ahead
With the return of Lewandowski and Olmo, Barcelona hopes to reinforce its attack against Elche. However, the absence of several key players complicates their strategy. As Barcelona navigates these obstacles, fans eagerly anticipate how the team will adjust to secure a vital victory in LaLiga.
