FC Barcelona are set to play their last La Liga match before the November international break against Real Sociedad tonight. This will be another difficult match for the Blaugrana team, but they still remain heavy favorites for this game after their crushing wins over significantly stronger teams like Bayern Munich and Real Madrid.
Owing to the threat that this Real Sociedad team will pose, Hansi Flick is once again expected to field his strongest line-up for this game, especially as the German will be looking to maintain his lead over Real Madrid, who got the full three points in their match against Osasuna last night, and to go into the international break with the team’s spirits high.
FC Barcelona have announced their squad for the upcoming game, and among the youngsters, Andrés Cuenca has received a call-up from Hansi Flick due to concerns over Pau Cubarsi’s fitness.
While Cubarsi completed yesterday’s training session without issues, he may be given some rest as he’s now required to wear a protective mask after sustaining a severe blow to his face that required 10 stitches.
Hector Fort is also absent from the squad, sidelined due to lower back pain. Additionally, Ronald Araujo, Andreas Christensen, Marc Bernal, Marc-André ter Stegen, Eric Garcia, and Ferran Torres remain unavailable as they continue their recovery from injuries.
