La Liga leaders missing host of key players
Hansi Flick takes his rampant Barca side to Real Madrid in La Liga, knowing a victory would open up a sizeable six-point gap on the current champions.
Their absentee list, however, is lengthy.
Marc Bernal and Marc-Andre ter Stegen are not expected to feature again this season, while Andreas Christensen is likely to be ruled out until the New Year.
Ronald Araujo and Eric Garcia may return before then but are not likely to make the trip to the capital.
Gavi, however, is available again and made a late cameo in Wednesday's big 4-1 win over Bayern Munich in the Champions League.
Barcelona predicted XI: Pena; Kounde, Cubarsi, Martinez, Balde; Casado, Pedri, Fermin; Yamal, Lewandowski, Raphinha
Injured: Ter Stegen, Bernal, Christensen, Araujo, Garcia, Torres
Time and date: 8pm BST on Saturday 26 October 2024
Venue: Santiago Bernabeu, Madrid
