Barça’s Potential Lineup Against Girona Flick’s Innovative Attack Strategy
Hansi Flick faces a challenging situation due to a wave of injuries affecting key players, especially in the attack line. This Saturday, against Girona, key players like Raphinha, Lewandowski, and Ferran Torres will be unavailable. Ferran Torres is out due to a last-minute hamstring strain. Lamine Yamal’s ongoing groin issue also sidelines him from full playtime, influencing Flick’s lineup decisions.
Barça’s Potential Lineup Against Girona
Marcus Rashford is the sole forward ready to start, likely playing as the central striker. The challenge lies in determining who will accompany Rashford on the wings.
Flick’s Innovative Attack Strategy
- Roony Bardghji is a probable choice for the right wing, especially if Lamine Yamal doesn’t start.
- Fermín López or Alejandro Balde could occupy the left side.
In midfield, Pedri and Frenkie are essential, with Fermín potentially reinforcing the midfield if not deployed on the wing, due to Dani Olomo’s absence.
Defense and Goalkeeping Options
Hansi Flick has more flexibility in defense, with all players available. Eric and Cubarsí could form the central defense duo. Koundé is expected to be the right-back, whereas Balde might cover the left unless deployed further forward, allowing Gerard Martín to fill in.
| Position | Likely Players |
|---|---|
| Goalkeeper | Wojciech Szczesny |
| Central Defense | Eric, Cubarsí |
| Right-Back | Koundé |
| Left-Back | Balde or Gerard Martín |
Wojciech Szczesny will remain as the goalkeeper, with Joan García expected back for the Champions League match against Club Brugge on November 5.
