Barcelona are set to host Valencia on Sunday in La Liga. They will play the match at Estadio Johan Cruyff Stadium.
Barcelona vs Valencia – Predicted lineups and team news
Barcelona Team News
Barcelona’s long-awaited move back to the revamped Spotify Camp Nou has hit a snag due to outstanding paperwork, meaning the fixture will instead be played at the intimate Estadi Johan Cruyff, which seats just 6,000 fans—a huge drop from the planned 105,000 capacity of Camp Nou.
Head coach Hansi Flick has a selection headache as several key players remain unavailable. Young midfielder Gavi is out as he deals with a knee injury and possible surgery. Meanwhile, Alejandro Balde is ruled out after picking up a hamstring problem in training and could be sidelined until next month. Frenkie de Jong, who suffered a muscle injury on international duty, has only recently resumed training and is yet to rejoin the full squad sessions.
Raphinha returned from international duty feeling “drained and frustrated” but is expected to be included in the starting lineup against Valencia.
Barcelona Predicted Lineup
Barcelona Predicted XI: Garcia; Koundé, Christensen, Garcia, Martin; Fermin, Pedri; Raphinha, Dani Olmo, Yamal; Ferran Torres
