Following their 2-1 win over Girona in La Liga, FC Barcelona are now set to return to UEFA Champions League action as they face the Greek side Olympiacos. The Blaugranes would be keen to win this game to get back to winning ways in the European competition, as they were defeated by Paris Saint-Germain in their last game.
However, the absence of some important players will remain a handicap for Hansi Flick. Lamine Yamal and Fermin Lopez returned in the last game against Girona and have also been included in the squad list announced by FC Barcelona for this game.
Furthermore, Ferran Torres has received medical clearance ahead of the game and has likewise been named in the squad.
However, other players like Raphinha, Robert Lewandowski, Joan Garcia, Dani Olmo, Gavi, and Marc-Andre ter Stegen remain absent as they continue to recover from their respective physical problems. Similarly, Andreas Christensen, who was unable to train yesterday, is also absent from the list.
