Barcelona coach Hansi Flick confirmed Eric Garcia and Andreas Christensen are available for Sunday’s top-of-the-table clash with Atletico Madrid, while Rodri remains sidelined.
Barcelona manager Hansi Flick confirmed that defenders Eric Garcia and Andreas Christensen are available for Sunday's La Liga match against Atletico Madrid. Garcia has recovered from a thigh injury suffered in October, while Christensen returns following a nearly two-month absence. Their returns offer defensive reinforcement for league leaders Barcelona as they prepare to face second-placed Atletico at the Metropolitano Stadium.
Barcelona will still be without Jules Kounde, Xavi Espart, and midfielder Rodri Hernandez, who faces up to a month out with a hamstring issue. Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone commended Barcelona forward Raphinha ahead of the clash, while Atletico forward Julian Alvarez is expected to feature against the Catalan side.
