Official: Barcelona star handed first start of season as 1 of 3 changes vs Red Star | OneFootball

Barcelona head coach Hansi Flick has decided to shake things up in his starting XI for the club’s meeting with Red Star Belgrade.

Barca, of course, are primed to return to action in short order.

Turning attentions back towards matters on the continent, the Blaugrana have made the trip to Serbia, for a Champions League showdown with the aforementioned Red Star.

And, as alluded to above, boss Flick has opted to introduce several significant changes to his line-up for the clash.

From the XI which got the better of Espanyol over the weekend, all of Héctor Fort, Alejandro Balde and Dani Olmo have dropped to the bench.

And stepping in in their places are Jules Koundé, Gerard Martín, and Frenkie de Jong – the latter of whom will be making his first start of the season in Belgrade.
