It has been a very good start of 2025 for Barcelona, who hope to be able to continue their shape on the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan against Sevilla on Sunday. The players on which Hansi Flick trusts in Andalusia will be interesting to notice, since a few changes have been made in recent weeks.
In the past week, Eric Garcia seems to have lifted himself above Ronald Araujo in the pecking order in the central defense – after they have been selected to start the Midweek Copa del Rey victory on Valencia. In his press conference before the game (via MD), Flick spoke glowing about the 24-year-old, who was connected to a move in January.
“Eric Garcia is fit and works well. As 6 he is doing very well. Depending on the circumstances of each opponent, he is very flexible. He is happy and so do we. We will see how the season goes. He has done very well the last few games. '
Flick also spoke about Ansu Fati, who removed a step from Barcelona during the winter transfer window, even though they had no clear chance of playing minutes between now and the end of the season.
“It is the plan we have with Ansu Fati. Sometimes you talk to the coach and a few days later you see what happens. Ter Stegen, Bernal and Christensen are injured. The rest is 21 players available, Ansu improves and tomorrow we will see the list according to the options. “
Finally, Flick gave an update on Marc-Andre ter Stegen, who already ran out of a serious knee injury in September. Recent reports have suggested that the German goalkeeper could be available before the end of the season.
“The condition of Ter Stegen is private information like everything I know with doctors. He has already started working and it is the first step. Everything is on the right track, it has improved a lot and we are very happy. “
