Report: Barcelona exclude 22-year-old forward for Sevilla clash | OneFootball

Journalist Victor Navarro has reported that Ansu Fati did not travel to Sevilla and has been excluded from Barcelona’s squad for their crucial match.

Barcelona’s hopes of winning La Liga are firmly in their hands following the recent draw between Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid, which ended 1-1.

This result presents Hansi Flick’s team with a golden opportunity to strengthen their position in the title race. However, they must secure all three points tonight against Sevilla at the Sanchez-Pizjuan Stadium.

The task ahead is far from simple. Sevilla have always been a challenging destination for Barcelona, and recent away form in La Liga adds to the concern.

Since their emphatic 4-0 victory at the Bernabeu, Barcelona have managed just one win in their last five away matches.

Despite being the best team on the road this season, they are currently struggling to maintain their dominance. A win tonight is essential if they aim to close the gap on Real Madrid and Atlético.

No squad list yet

The pre-match build-up has seen a surprising move from Hansi Flick. The German coach opted not to release the squad list ahead of the fixture, fueling speculation about potential absences.

With Andreas Christensen ruled out due to injury—alongside long-term absentees Marc-André ter Stegen and Marc Bernal—Gavi’s availability is also uncertain as he awaits medical clearance.

One of the biggest talking points has been the status of Ansu. Although Flick recently mentioned that the young forward’s condition was improving, doubts remained about his inclusion in the squad.

Ultimately, it has been confirmed that he will remain in Barcelona and will not feature in tonight’s match.

Barcelona’s recent performances have shown promise, offering a glimmer of optimism despite their struggles away from home.

To capitalise on the draw between their Madrid rivals, a strong showing against Sevilla is non-negotiable. The team will need to find their rhythm and deliver a commanding performance if they wish to stay in control of their La Liga ambitions.
