Team News
Barca goalkeeper Ter Stegan was heavily criticized for his poor performance against Sevilla in the Champions League. And unfortunately, the German goalkeeper had a severe injury in the following match, which will keep him out of the team for the rest of the season.
Barcelona are about to play four games in just 10 days, and players’ fitness is a great concern to Hansi Flick. Barca fans repeatedly asked to give Lamine Yamal, a teenage wonder kid, a rest. But Flick does not think Yamal needs rest tonight. He said, “We have all the data on the players, he doesn’t need to rest at the moment. We’ll look at it, but I don’t think he needs to rest tomorrow. Lamine has been doing incredible this season. We have to continue with this performance.”
Additionally, Barcelona will miss the service of Ronald Araujo, Andreas Christensen, Marc Bernal, Gavi, Frenkie de Jong, Dani Olmo, and Fermin Lopez due to their respective injuries.
As for Getafe, defender Nabil Aberdin missed the last three games but has recovered. He will be assessed before the match and could get a few minutes tonight.
Alvaro Rodriguez, who joined Getafe from Real Madrid, is yet to make his debut due to an injury. However, he has returned to training and could play tonight.
Possible Lineup for Barcelona:
Pena; Kounde, Cubarsi, Martinez, Balde; Casado, Pedri; Yamal, Raphinha, Torres; Lewandowski
Possible Lineup for Getafe:
Soria; Iglesias, Djene, Berrocal, Alderete, Rico; Perez, Uche, Milla, Sola; Mayoral
Prediction: Barcelona 3-0 Getafe
Barcelona are flying under Hansi Flick in La Liga. They destroyed the opponents they faced in this competition. Barca striker Robert Lewandowski is in great form, scoring six goals in six matches. Meanwhile, Raphinha also scored five goals in the league so far. Therefore, it should be an easy match for the Catalan side against Getafe, who are yet to win a game.
