The youth player, who only suffered a sprained judge in the match against the Netherlands in Rotterdam, continues his recovery in Barcelona.
FC Barcelona Center-Back Pau Cubarsí will take its chances of being available against Osasuna this Thursday, but according to MD his participation in Thursday's game against the Rojillos is very in the air. Although he has already started physiotherapy to restore the right ankle that he has wounded at the national team, the current feeling that the player will be very short for the match against the Rojillos. The Barça Center-Back had to leave before the first half of the match against the Netherlands played in Rotterdam last Thursday, in the first stage of the quarterfinals of the Nations League, because of a sprained judge ankle. Despite the fact that after the game, the Spain coach Luis de la Fuente expressed his intention to stay in Mestalla for the return bone, he eventually returned to Barcelona on Friday, where he underwent further medical tests. The club confirmed on Saturday that “the middle back has a trunk of the front tibiofibular ligament in his right ankle.”
Although Flick will be without Araujo, who is expected to be in a tight place for the game after Bielsa confirmed on Monday that he was one of the selected players to fly to Bolivia, where he will play early (Spanish Time) on Tuesday morning, the Barça coach Cubarsí will not force if his injury is eager. Iñigo Martínez, who trained with his teammates on Monday, and Eric Garcia will form the central defensive link for the match against Osasuna. After the delayed match against Osasuna, Barça has a run of 10 games in 25 days, with all three titles on the line, and Flick does not want to risk the youth player if he is not fully recovered.
