After securing a tough 1-1 draw against Newcastle in the first leg of UEFA Champions League RO16 clash, Hansi Flick's Barca is gearing up to lock horns with Sevilla on Sunday, in a LaLiga clash.
Hansi Flick to make some changes?
Ahead of the clash, it is being speculated that Barcelona boss, Hansi Flick could make a few changes in the starting lineup to give a breather to some key players.
After a series of high-intensity clashes, the players have experienced a bit of tiredness and several injuries as well, which turned out to be the main reason behind Hansi Flick doing rotation in the team for the next clash.
Currently, Frenkie de Jong, Alejandro Balde and Jules Kounde are on the sidelines because of injuries, on the other hand Eric Garcia remains doubtful after missing the UCL clash against Newcastle.
Will Raphinha play against Sevilla?
According to a report from Diario Sport, Raphinha, Robert Lewandowski, Marc Bernal, Ronald Araujo and Pedri are expected to be given a rest against Sevilla.
Lamine Yamal to start the game?
It is also being reported that Barca's teen sensation, Lamine Yamal could start the game despite missing Thursday's training session because of illness.
The rotation turns out to be good news for midfielder Marc Casado as he is likely to start the game. La Masia product, Xavi Espart can have his first start as well and there could be slight chance of Gavi coming off the bench after getting green signal from medical staff.
