Hansi Flick considers Sevilla’s visit to Montjuïc an important match and will line up his starting forward. Don’t think about Bayern or the Bernabéu, Barcelona plays this Sunday with its three fittest men in attack. The German coach holds nothing back once Lamine Yamal and Lewandowski have recovered from their scares with their respective teams.
The young winger returned before the Spanish national team with an overload in his hamstrings but the club’s treatment, as the coach announced, has given results and he is ready. In the case of the veteran nine, who ended up limping in Poland’s last game, he was also able to recover in time. The Pole, scorer of 12 goals, is the only player who has started all 12 games this season.
The third man of the attack
Raphinha doesn’t rest either despite playing 168 minutes with Brazil on the FIFA double date
For his part, Raphinha retains his position despite the fact that during the break he traveled to Brazil and Chile for qualifying matches for the next World Cup. In total, the Brazilian played 168 minutes with the canarinha. So Ansu Fati is still not a starter.
Against Sevilla, Flick recovers his starting defense to protect Iñaki Peña who remains the starter. Koundé, who tried out on the bench in Mendizorroza the previous day, returns to his position in the eleven as a right back. While, for the tenth time at the beginning of the season, the central pair is made up of Pau Cubarsí and Iñigo Martínez.
On the bench with Fermín and Olmo
Gavi can play an official match again 11 months after injuring his right knee with Spain
In the midfield, Flick himself revealed that he wanted Frenkie de Jong to start for the first time this season but that the Dutchman felt some discomfort in training on Friday that advised him to be cautious. So it is Eric Garcia who will act as a pivot, behind Casadó and Pedri.
The three footballers who have received the medical discharge, three midfielders, will wait on the bench to see if they have minutes with the game started. They are Dani Olmo, Fermín and Gavi, who can play an official match again 11 months after injuring his right knee with Spain and having to undergo surgery.
Barça faces Sevilla with Iñaki Peña, Koundé, Cubarsí, Iñigo Martínez, Balde, Eric Garcia, Casadó, Pedri, Lamine Yamal, Raphinha and Lewandowski.
