Barcelona vs Atletico Madrid: Confirmed team news and predicted XIs

Clash: Lamine Yamal and Antoine Griezmann

The winger suffered a hamstring injury on international duty with Brazil last week, and is reported to be sidelined for the next four weeks as Hansi Flick’s side eye a league and European Cup double.

The Culers are also without Frenkie de Jong, who is close to returns from their respective issues but this game will come too soon.

De Jong has been suffering from a hamstring problem himself, while Marc Bernal has returned from an ankle sprain.

Andreas Christensen is their other absentee, as he continues his rehabilitation from an ACL tear.

As for Atleti, their main injury concern is Jan Oblak, who has remained sidelined with a muscle injury in his side.

The problem kept him out of the last 16 tie against Tottenham, which Atletico won 7-5 on aggregate, as well as their three previous league encounters against Getafe, Real Madrid and Barca over the weekend.
