FC Barcelona Team News vs Inter Milan: Ter-Stegen, Balde, Lewandowski
FC Barcelona, as a squad, are getting healthier at just the right time. No. 1 goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen returned to the team for the 3-2 El Clasico triumph in the Copa del Rey final on Saturday. He didn't feature, and probably won't on Wednesday night, but he's back. And that is no doubt a triumph for Ter Stegen, given that back in September, he was actually ruled out … [Read more...] about FC Barcelona Team News vs Inter Milan: Ter-Stegen, Balde, Lewandowski
FC Barcelona Team News, Starting XI Prediction vs Real Sociedad
FC Barcelona prepares to host Real Sociedad feeling a ton of positive momentum. They have won their last five La Liga fixtures, and they're undefeated in their last 14 (W11D3) across all competitions.

The prolonged up turn in form has brought them back … [Read more...] about FC Barcelona Team News, Starting XI Prediction vs Real Sociedad
FC Barcelona Starting XI Prediction at Benfica

FC Barcelona Team News at Benfica: Dani Olmo, Inigo Martinez
FC Barcelona have a new injury concern in Spanish forward and summer acquisition Dani Olmo. It has been confirmed that the attacking midfielder/left winger will miss out on the next match, a trip to Benfica for a Champions League due to a calf strain.

FC Barcelona Starting XI Prediction vs Leganes
After a big triumph in continental competition, in midweek at Borussia Dortmund, FC Barcelona are back home to their friendly confines in Catalonia. They will welcome in Leganes, a relegation fodder side, for a La Liga fixture. This match will be a lot easier, at least on paper, than the journey to last year's UEFA Champions League runner-up. We saw Hansi Flick do a lot of … [Read more...] about FC Barcelona Starting XI Prediction vs Leganes
FC Barcelona Team News vs Leganes: Raphinha, Ansu Fati, Andreas Christensen
Raphinha had to be subbed off, after just 20 minutes, in the 3-2 win at Borussia Dortmund on Wednesday. The problem has been reported to be a calf issue, and that renders him doubtful for the visit from Leganes on Sunday. However, the issue sounds pretty minor, at least according to manager Hansi Flick. "He's not injured. He's just tired," Flick said to the media. … [Read more...] about FC Barcelona Team News vs Leganes: Raphinha, Ansu Fati, Andreas Christensen
FC Barcelona Starting XI Prediction at Osasuna
Thus far, the injury crisis at FC Barcelona has not truly caught up to them. They are still top of the table, and unblemished in the league.

He is now done for the season. How will the Blaugranes … [Read more...] about FC Barcelona Starting XI Prediction at Osasuna
FC Barcelona Team News at Osasuna: Ter Stegen, Kochen, Gavi, De Jong
The news regarding starting goalkeeper Marc-Andre Ter Stegen has been released, and unfortunately, it is indeed the worst case scenario. Having suffered a full tear of the patellar tendon (an injury that many would say is even worse than an anterior cruciate ligament tear), he is done for the remainder of the season. That means Inaki Pena is now the first choice … [Read more...] about FC Barcelona Team News at Osasuna: Ter Stegen, Kochen, Gavi, De Jong
FC Barcelona Starting XI Prediction at Villarreal
The first loss of the Hansi Flick era has been suffered, so now, how will the Blaugranes respond? Having been beaten at Monaco, in continental competition, now the Catalan club must rebound in the league. They have a lot more talent and depth than Villarreal, of course, but diving down to the Yellow Submarine is never as easy proposition. Especially now, given that Flick as … [Read more...] about FC Barcelona Starting XI Prediction at Villarreal
