Ten Barcelona Players on International Duty: Countries, Games, How to Watch on TV

A significant amount of Barcelona stars will represent their respective national teams as part of the October internationals.

Following a painful defeat against Sevilla, 10 Barcelona players travelled to different corners of Europe to gear up for friendly or World Cup qualifying action.

Barcelona head into the break after losing consecutive games for the first time in 2025. Hansi Flick will have two weeks to work on fixing Barcelona’s growing issues, other players will get some much needed rest and a handful, some more time to recover from injuries.

Flick alluded to fatigue as a key reason for Barça’s recent loss against PSG, but after three games in one week, 10 Blaugrana players will get no time to recover as the grueling grind of the season continues.

Regardless of Lamine Yamal, Gavi and Fermín López being injured, Barcelona still supplied four players to the Spain national team for their upcoming matches, continuing to be very much a talent factory for La Roja as they were during its golden era.

Robert Lewandowski and Marcus Rashford are the only Barcelona players that will play anything other than UEFA’s 2026 World Cup qualifiers. Both Poland and England will host friendly matches before going on the road to play one qualifier game.

Every other Barcelona player will be solely focused on helping their respective countries in their quest to secure a spot in the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
