Flick and his ordeal with injuries: Ferran Torres, the last one to fall | LaLiga EA Sports 2025

The injuries are being quite an ordeal for Hansi Flick in his second season at the helm of Barça. The Barça infirmary, with tenants up to the commitments of the national teams such as Marc-André ter Stegenwhose file was removed in August, Gavi, Joan García, Fermín, Lamine Yamal y Raphinhahas also been affected by the well-worn FIFA viruses.

Dani Olmo He was the first to join, he was followed Robert Lewandowskiboth with muscle injuries and, this same Friday, the absence for this Saturday’s game against Girona of a Ferran Torres who also returned early from his call with the red for some inconvenience.

Although the Barça club initially resisted calling him out, the absence of the Valencian leaves the Barcelona forward practically in the picture. And not only with a view to the duel with the Girona team, but also for the return of the Champions League against Olympiacos, next Tuesday and, above all, the classic against Real Madrid on October 26.

For the big clash with the eternal rival at the Bernabéu, both the German goalkeeper, who was already urged this summer to look for a new destination before undergoing back surgery for the second time and being sidelined due to a long-term injury, and are in principle more than ruled out. Joan Garciawho still has a couple of weeks left to get back under the sticks. Dani Olmo y Robert Lewandowski They will be away from the playing fields in principle for three and four weeks, according to the forecasts after their respective muscle injuries.

Ferran TorresMeanwhile, it should be ready. In fact, his absence against Girona seems to be more due to caution than seriousness. Raphinha, who apparently relapsed from his problems, his evolution would now be positive. Fermin y Lamine YamalMeanwhile, if everything continues as before, they will be able to be in both the classic and against Girona.

For now, neither of them yet has the required medical clearance, but both have been working lately with the group apparently at the same pace as the rest and could enter the squad list. The question, in this case, is whether or not they would be part of the starting eleven against a Girona team that has had a tremendously erratic start to the season.

In the case of Lamine Yamal, Flick will walk on eggshells. Right now, the German technically only has one first team striker in perfect condition: Marcus Rashford. On paper, the Swede Roony Bardghji He has a reserve team record, although he has not yet played a single minute under the orders of Juliano Belletti nor does it seem that he is going to do so in the current course, so his name must also join that of the English one. The need to beat Olympiacos in the Champions League, after the defeat at home against PSG, and the importance of the classic will lead them to dose both Fermin like that of Rocafonda. Even making them start from the bench.

“Lamin y Fermin They are back, and they won’t be able to play 90 minutes. We have to manage it, that is our job. If we are at our best level, we can beat anyone. The important thing is how we start and fight from the beginning,” said the coach, who highlighted, more vehemently than usual, that no one intervened so that the young man crack Barcelona was a starter against PSG.

He responded like this because he usually punishes with substitution any player who arrives late to any appointment called by the coaching staff and, presumably, the youth player was late for the talk prior to the match with the Parisians. “I would like to know where that rumor comes from. It’s bullshit. It’s not like that. In this club, I have a real relationship with Deco and with the rest of the professionals. I believe in my work, I am confident and they wouldn’t ask us for something like that. This rumor is garbage. Whoever said it has lied,” said the German.
