FC Barcelona are closing in on their final match before the international break takes off. Set to face Granada away from home on Sunday as their ninth match of the La Liga EA Sports campaign, Barcelona will want to make sure that all three points are taken away from this clash.
As things stand, FC Barcelona are currently second in La Liga behind Real Madrid with a singular point setting apart the two El Clasico rivals. Granada, on the other hand, currently sit at 19th and will be looking to get some points at home to ensure they have enough to survive their ongoing relegation battle.
Interestingly, with Robert Lewandowski out injured, Barcelona have indeed turned towards the subsidiary. Calling upon the services of 21-year-old Pau Victor and 17-year-old Marc Guiu, Xavi has taken with him two very promising youth forwards that could get a chance to shine against Granada.
Marc Casado ultimately does not make the final 20-man squad list and neither do Pedri, Frenkie De Jong, or Raphinha, all of whom are currently injured and working on their recovery to return to action as soon as possible after the international break.
