Barcelona prepares for a match against Las Palmas with key players back in action.
Earlier in the week, there were concerns about Inigo Martinez’s fitness. However, reports now say he will play despite some muscle discomfort. He will be joined in defense by Alejandro Balde, who is making his first start since early November.
Coach Hansi Flick has confirmed that Lamine Yamal will play, but he might start from the bench. Fermin Lopez and Raphinha are expected to play alongside Robert Lewandowski in the attack.
Gavi will take the place of the suspended Marc Casado, while Dani Olmo is likely to rest after two recent starts. Pablo Torre is set to get a rare chance to start in Olmo’s position. The team is still missing several players due to injuries, including Marc-Andre ter Stegen and Ansu Fati.
Barcelona will face Las Palmas today, and both Lamine Yamal and Ferran Torres are back in the squad. Reports suggest that Yamal will start, along with Gavi and Pablo Torre in midfield.
Las Palmas recently lost to RCD Mallorca but has won four out of their last six matches under coach Diego Martinez. They have shown improvement, but left-back Alex Munoz is unavailable for personal reasons.
Mika Marmol will step in on the left side of defense for Las Palmas. There is some debate about whether Javi Munoz or Dario Essugo will play in the middle. Additionally, Alberto Moleiro is expected to return to the starting lineup, replacing Fuster.
The match promises to be an exciting one as both teams look to secure a win. Fans are eager to see how the young players perform and if Barcelona can continue their strong form.
