Barcelona has a short change between games after an excellent 4-1 La Liga Derby victory over Girona.
The side of Hansi Flick has been reduced from the international break with that result that is called over the heels of a 3-0 win over Osasuna.
The most important statistics for Barcelona fans is the restoration of a three -point lead over Real Madrid at the top of the table at the end of the weekend.
Next for Flick and Barcelona is a crunch trip to Atletico Madrid in their Copa del Rey Semi-Halve second stage with the tie capable after 4-4 draw in the first meeting.
Flick has to win his fight against Diego Simeone to keep Barcelona's Treble Quest on the right track, but it will not be easy in the capital.
There were no fresh injury confirmed after the Girona victory with Dani Olmo still went aside after he was forced against Osasuna.
However, Flick offered a statement about the constant absence of Raphinha, after his return from the service of Brazil.
With the Osasuna collision that takes place too close to the arrival of Raphinha in Spain, he got a rest in that match and started on the couch against Girona.
Despite the expectation that he was offered some playing time, Flick kept his no. 11 on the couch and doubts the trip to Madrid in midweek.
“I spoke to him during the break to see if he could play for a few minutes. He was very honest and told me he wasn't feeling well,” according to quotes from Relo.
“He will train the day after tomorrow, and if he feels better, he is ready for the next game vs. Atletico Madrid.”
Pau Cubarsi and Alejandro Bange are also in line for recall action against Los Rojiblancos, because Flick with his strongest team is possible to reach the final.
