Barcelona manager Hansi Flick may have blessed at seeing Spain-Nederland who goes to extra time on Sunday evening, which guarantees extra minutes for Ferran Torres, Pedri and Lamine Yamal. With their rescheduled collision with Osasuna to take place on Thursday evening, the German manager will probably send the resources he has that are able to play.
With Raphinha and Ronald Araujo in action late in the night for Brazil and Uruguay respectively, the best that can be hoped for them to make the bank at Montjuic. In the meantime, concern has grown over the suitability of Robert Lewandowski. The 36-year-old attacker sustained a muscle load against Lithuania last Friday, but it is unlikely that it will play against Malta tonight. However, he will stay with his national team for the occasion and will return on Monday evening to train again for Barcelona on Tuesday morning.
How more and more it seems that Torres can start in his place against Osasuna. On the other hand, Inigo Martinez has trained with the group for a part of Monday's session, and it looks good to be fit again for the collision on Thursday, just like central defending partner Pau Cubarsi. He missed the second stage of Spain-Netherlands as a precautionary measure after an ankle voltage, but seems to have avoided injury. After 48 hours of rest, he is also ready to return to the training on Tuesday, says Diario ALS.
On the other hand, Osasuna also looks at absences, because on Monday started training without Bryan Zaragoza and Unai Garcia due to muscle problems. In the meantime, Enzo Boyomo, who is also in action on Tuesday evening with Cameroon against Libya, is said to fly to Istanbul on Tuesday evening, and then to Madrid on Wednesday, before he goes directly to Barcelona to be available for Vicente Moreno.
Los Rojillo was the first side in La Liga to defeat Barcelona this season and she hit 4-2 in El Sadar in September. However, Osasuna has struggled lately and since November has only one victory to their name, so that they are pushed past the table. Barcelona knows that Thursday is their chance to maintain a three -point advantage compared to Real Madrid with a victory, and they will be opposite Girona on Sunday.
