Barcelona attacking duo out of Olympiacos tie, major doubts for Clasico

Barcelona attacking duo out of Olympiacos tie, major doubts for Clasico

Raphinha remains sidelined with a hamstring injury picked up last month, and Ferran has not recovered from discomfort sustained during international duty. Both missed recent training sessions and are not expected to be risked midweek.

Their absences come on top of a growing injury list that includes Robert Lewandowski, Gavi, Dani Olmo, and Joan Garcia. Andreas Christensen is also a doubt after leaving training due to discomfort.

Flick now faces limited attacking options. Lamine Yamal and Fermin Lopez could play bigger roles, while new signing Roony Bardghji may get minutes. In a pinch, Ronald Araujo could even be used in a forward role.

With Olympiacos in the Champions League and Real Madrid looming in El Clasico, Barca must navigate two crucial fixtures without several key players - a serious test of their depth and resilience.
