Barcelona XI vs Real Oviedo – Predicted lineup and team news
Barcelona Team News
The La Liga champions are grappling with a string of injury setbacks heading into the journey to Asturias. Fermín López is sidelined for approximately three weeks after sustaining a muscle injury versus Getafe, and midfielder Gavi faces a lengthy stint out, with the club announcing he will undergo surgery and be unavailable for at least four months.
🗣️ Hansi Flick: “Gavi’s injury is not easy because he brings us a lot of quality. But we will all help him get back to his level. He is very young, has his whole career ahead of him, and it’s important that he focuses on that.” pic.twitter.com/HiQFkWSjQY

The Catalans are also missing goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen due to a back issue, while Alejandro Balde continues his recovery from a hamstring injury. Lamine Yamal remains a significant doubt, having missed the last three matches because of a groin problem, though his recent return to training offers encouragement.
Additionally, Pau Cubarsi is expected to be back in contention following a minor knee setback that kept him out against Getafe. Manager Hansi Flick is likely to bring Dani Olmo into the starting eleven in place of Fermin Lopez. There’s also a possibility of changes in central defence, with Cubarsi and Ronald Araujo poised to replace Eric Garcia and Andreas Christensen.
