Barcelona Squad for Girona Clash: Lamine and Fermín Return
Barcelona has announced its squad for the crucial LaLiga match against Girona, taking place today at Montjuïc. This game marks the ninth round of the league season. Coach Hansi Flick has welcomed two key players back: Lamine Yamal and Fermín López.
Despite these returns, the team faces significant challenges with injuries. A total of seven first-team players are unavailable for selection. This list includes stars like Marc-André ter Stegen, Gavi, Raphinha, Robert Lewandowski, Joan García, Dani Olmo, and Ferran Torres.
Injury Updates and Player Returns
The reintroduction of Lamine Yamal is notable as he has recovered from a lingering pubic discomfort. Fermín López, the Andalusian midfielder, also returns after overcoming a left iliopsoas muscle injury sustained during the game against Getafe on September 21.
Ferran Torres, who recently returned from international duty with Spain, was expected to be fit. However, he reported a strain in his left hamstring and did not participate in training on Friday, confirming his absence from the Girona clash.
Youth Involvement
In light of the injuries, Flick has again turned to the youth academy to bolster his squad. Two notable additions from the youth ranks are Xavi Espart and Juan.
