La Liga: Injuries A Problem For Barcelona As Sarabia's Elche Visit Montjuic
Goalkeeper Joan Garcia: FC Barcelona coach Hansi Flick must navigate a serious injury list as his side prepares to face an opponent likely to seek long spells of possession against the reigning La Liga champions. Barcelona host Elche a week after a 2-1 defeat away to Real Madrid, which left it five points behind the leaders.
Injuries to players such as Raphinha and Robert Lewandowski, along with Lamine Yamal's ongoing pelvic problem, have reduced Barca's ability to press high. Opponents are also exploiting a high defensive line that continues to concede.
This week brought more setbacks, with Andreas Christensen suffering a calf problem, while Pedri has a hamstring injury that will sideline him for around six weeks. He would have been suspended on Sunday after last week's sending off, reports Xinhua.
