FC Barcelona are set to return to La Liga action after the October international break with a match against Sevilla. The Catalans will be looking to continue their winning run that they had built up before the break.
But this game against Sevilla will have some importance for Flick’s team beyond only the three points. The Catalans have two high-profile clashes coming up against Bayern Munich and Real Madrid right after this game, and thus they will be looking to get a victory in this Sevilla game to go into these ties with their morale boosted.
FC Barcelona have announced the squad for this game, which is scheduled to take place tomorrow, on Sunday. The German tactician has received four reinforcements for this game, as Gavi, Fermin Lopez, Dani Olmo, and Wojciech Szczesny are all ready to get back on the pitch.
Frenkie de Jong had already made his return to the pitch before the break, and the Dutchman is expected to be near his best level after the rest he got during the international break despite the minor setback he suffered as revealed by Hansi Flick.
However, other important players like Marc Bernal, Marc Andre Ter Stegen, Ronald Araujo, Ferran Torres, and Andreas Christensen still remain unavailable as they continue to work on their recoveries.
