FC Barcelona: two returns and a notable absence for Getafe

FC Barcelona coach Hansi Flick has just revealed the list of players called up for tonight’s La Liga match on Getafe (9 p.m.).

After putting four at Barbastro (4-0), two at Athletic (2-0), five at Real Madrid (5-2) and as many at Betis Sevilla (5-1), FC Barcelona will will he continue on this frantic pace of goals in 2025? It will be complicated. For its first La Liga match of the new year, the Catalan club travels this evening to Getafe, which has made its defense its strong point. The Madrid commuters have the fourth-ranked rearguard in La Liga (16 goals conceded) as they battle for relegation. Their thing is to leave the ball to the opponent, retreat into their twenty meters and close everything down.

A new clear message sent to Fati

For this expedition to the capital, Hansi Flick recorded two returns. The first is Wojciech Szczesny, who returns from suspension after his red card against Real in the Spanish Super Cup final. The second is Andreas Christensen, the Danish defender having recovered from his Achilles tendon injury suffered on matchday one in August. In terms of absences, we note that of Inigo Martinez, injured against the Merengue and who is out for a month, but especially that of Ansu Fati, whom management wants to see leave in January.
