Barcelona Team News at Girona: Gavi, De Jong, Olmo, Lopez

By

It is a Catalan derby miracle! Very positive injury news, for both Gavi and Frenkie De Jong! Especially Gavi, who has returned to training this week. This is the first time he has trained since tearing his ACL about 10 months ago. Don't expect him to feature at Girona though, as he still has to be eased back into it all. His return to action is still a couple, to a few weeks … [Read more...] about Barcelona Team News at Girona: Gavi, De Jong, Olmo, Lopez

The last thing FC Barcelona need is another injury concern, but that is exactly what they now have on their hands, in regards to Dani Olmo.

FC Barcelona Starting XI Prediction vs Valladolid

By

You can't ask for a better debut if you're Dani Olmo. Signed before the season started, but not registered to play, due to salary cap problems, Olmo missed the first two games. But he came off the bench to score the second and game winning goal at Rayo Vallecano. After playing a half last night, does he start against Valladolid? We're thinking yes. Why not keep this positive … [Read more...] about FC Barcelona Starting XI Prediction vs Valladolid

FC Barcelona Starting XI Prediction at Rayo Vallecano

By

So far so good for the Hansi Flick era at FC Barcelona, but they haven't really been tested yet. Matchday three, a trip to the capital city to take on Rayo Vallecano, likely won't provide that much more of a challenge than the previous two matches. Of course, maybe that's good for the Blaugranes right now, as they're still breaking in a new manager and dealing with a whole … [Read more...] about FC Barcelona Starting XI Prediction at Rayo Vallecano

FC Barcelona Team News at Rayo Vallecano: Fati, Olmo, Christensen

By

As FC Barcelona prep for their third match of the season, manager Hansi Flick has dropped a hint about the club's plan pertaining to Ansu Fati. While Fati has been heavily linked with a loan move away this summer, Flick has made it clear that he will be counting on Fati this season. "I hope he returns to the level he showed in preseason; we need to take good care of him," … [Read more...] about FC Barcelona Team News at Rayo Vallecano: Fati, Olmo, Christensen

FC Barcelona Starting XI Prediction vs Athletic Club

By

FC Barcelona open the home portion of their slate on Saturday, when they welcome in Nico Williams and Athletic Club. Yes, Williams was indeed their top transfer target this summer window, but as you obviously know, the move never materialized. At this point, it doesn't look like it's going happen either. Now the main name being linked with a move to Catalonia, before the … [Read more...] about FC Barcelona Starting XI Prediction vs Athletic Club
