FC Barcelona is back in business. After its triumph on the pitch of Real Madrid (4-0) during the previous day, the Catalan club this time hosts Espanyol from Barcelona this Sunday for the 12th day of La Liga.
This Sunday morning, Hansi Flick revealed his squad for the game with no less than six absent. Marc-André ter Stegen, Andreas Christensen, Ronald Araujo, Marc Bernal, Eric Garcia and Ferran Torres are injured and absent for this game. The rest of the group is available for this derby.
Hansi Flick is expected to make some changes to his starting XI compared to the one that dominated Real Madrid at the Bernabeu the previous day.
Here is the likely eleven of Hansi Flick: Peña – Kound, Cubarsi, I. Martinez, Balde – De Jong, Pedri – Lamine Yamal, Elmo, Raphinha – Lewandowski
If successful, the Catalans could temporarily take a nine-point lead over Real Madrid who did not play this weekend due to flooding in the city of Valencia.
