Barcelona have faced a string of injury concerns during the recent international break. Lamine Yamal has been dealing with a hamstring overload, raising concerns about his fitness.

Additionally, star striker Robert Lewandowski appeared to be in pain while playing for Poland, which only adds to the team’s worries.

There is more to it

Ferran Torres, another key player in the squad, is currently sidelined with a muscle injury and is not expected to return until early December.

Meanwhile, Raphinha has endured a busy schedule, having just played for Brazil, where he scored twice against Peru.

Given his heavy workload and travel, it is understandable that Hansi Flick is now looking at possible changes in attack for the upcoming Sevilla clash.

The team is being cautious with their main striker, as Lewandowski is being closely monitored.

Changes expected

It is said that Barcelona will resume training on Thursday, after a day of rest on Wednesday. This session will focus on recovery for the players returning from international duty, giving the coaching staff a chance to assess their physical condition.

Considering the intense schedule looming ahead, with key matches next week, it seems likely that Flick will opt for some rotations in the squad against Sevilla. Players like Ansu Fati and Pau Víctor may be called upon to step up and fill the gaps in the attack.

The decision to make these changes appears sensible as Barcelona look to manage their squad carefully, keeping an eye on the bigger challenges to come.
