The past couple days have brought a doubt shot of FC Barcelona injury/fitness news. Gavi, the midfield man who has unfortunately endured a very injury-stricken past couple of seasons, suffered another setback. Gavi has been out since August due to a knee injury (which he suffered in training), and he'll now need surgery in order to facilitate recovery from it. "Gavi … [Read more...] about Barcelona Team News at Oviedo: Gavi, Fermin Lopez, Lamine Yamal

Newcastle United vs Barcelona Starting XI Predictions (Champions League)
One of the biggest fixtures of UEFA Champions League matchday 1 is Newcastle United hosting FC Barcelona. It comes on Thursday night, and that gives the match a bit of a weirder feel. When there is continental competition on a Thursday night, it has historically been Europa League or Conference League action, and thus, the inferior tournament. And while both of those … [Read more...] about Newcastle United vs Barcelona Starting XI Predictions (Champions League)
Barcelona Starting Lineup Prediction vs Valencia
It is only going to be a select special few that get to see FC Barcelona host Valencia CF on Sunday at the Johan Cruyff Stadium. The venue holds only 6,000 spectators, which is obviously a tiny fraction of Barcelona's true home, the Camp Nou, or their temporary home the past two seasons, the Olympic Stadium. Ticket sales for this weekend will be limited to the 16,151 members … [Read more...] about Barcelona Starting Lineup Prediction vs Valencia
Barcelona Team News, Starting Lineup Prediction at Levante

Barcelona Starting Lineup Prediction at RCD Mallorca
Tomorrow night, we might see FC Barcelona put forth a starting lineup that contains both Ferran Torres and Fermin Lopez.

Robert Lewandowski is still working his way towards match fitness while … [Read more...] about Barcelona Starting Lineup Prediction at RCD Mallorca

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