Barcelona and Girona will face each other in La Liga on Monday in an important match for both teams.
Barcelona aims to bounce back after their biggest defeat of the season and reclaim the top spot in the league, while Girona is in need of points to avoid relegation.
Despite a tough Copa del Rey loss to Atletico Madrid, Barcelona had been performing well, previously defeating Copenhagen 4-1 in the Champions League and winning league matches against Elche (3-1) and Mallorca (3-0).
Barcelona team news
Barcelona manager Hansi Flick reported on player injuries ahead of the match. Marcus Rashford remains out with a knee injury, but he is making progress. The team is not rushing his return from Manchester United.
On a positive note, Raphinha has returned to full training after missing the last three games due to an adductor issue.
Gavi is still recovering from knee surgery in September 2025 and hopes to return by March. Pedri is also sidelined with a hamstring injury and is expected to be out for about two more weeks.
Andreas Christensen is another long-term absence, having sustained an ACL injury during training earlier this year.
