Three key Barcelona players are expected to return from injury after the international break for Girona game.
Barcelona gets big injury boost
Barcelona has had two losses in a row in the last week. This has led fans to question the tactics of head coach Hansi Flick. The Catalans have appeared a bit out of sync, and the injuries have toughened the situation. But, there’s a good news from Camo Nou. As per reports, Raphinha, Fermin Lopez and Lamine Yamal will be available for Girona clash.
The German head coach, in his second season, knows there’s no waiting for pressure in Barcelona. Every result is judged, every lineup is questioned. Having Raphinha’s direct pace back, Fermin’s energy through the middle, and Yamal’s flair on the wing gives him the tools to turn things around. The trio’s presence could restore some of the spark that’s been missing since injuries hit the squad.

Yamal remains a doubt
Meanwhile, Raphinha and Fermin are likely to return, Yamal’s situation still uncertain. The youngster has been dealing with a muscle issue. Also, Flick is unsure when the young star would return to full fitness. With El Clasico against Real Madrid around the corner, Yamal’s absence will be a huge blow for Flick’s side.
If Yamal makes it back even at partial fitness, Flick will have his full attacking trio available just when the team needs a spark. In the meantime, Girona have been sharp this season. They won’t make it easy. But for Barcelona, having these players back might be the push needed to get their season back on track.
Author’s Opinion:
Hansi Flick’s biggest test now isn’t tactics, it’s momentum. Getting his key men fit and firing again could make or break Barcelona’s next few weeks. If this trio clicks, the tide could turn fast.
