FC Barcelona is looking forward to a very interesting week of football and definitely their toughest stretch of matches in the 2024/25 season yet. While under their new coach, Hansi Flick, they have had a flying start to the season, the last 10 days of October can vastly derail their season so far.
Under these circumstances, 4 key players coming back from Injury will definitely provide the Catalan Club with a lot of positivity, vigour and excitement to excel on the pitch.
It is their Midfield Quadrant of Frenkie De Jong, Gavi, Fermin Lopez, and Dani Olmo who have all been given the Medical Green light ahead of their upcoming fixtures. FC Barcelona take on Sevilla before their biggest Champions League fixture of the Group stages when they take on Bayern Munich at home in Catalunya. Just three days later, the Blaugrana will travel to Madrid and take on the defending La Liga Champions and Barcelona’s eternal Rivals Real Madrid, in what could very well be a very early League Decider.
Out of the 4 players who are getting the Green Light, Frenki De Jong has already featured in 2 matches but played less than 30 minutes on both occasions. While out of the other three, Fermin and Dani Olmo have played only 2-3 matches under Flick and Gavi is yet to make an Appearance for Flick’s Barcelona.
There’s no doubt regarding the quality of these players even though they are returning from major lay-offs. Their return will only strengthen Barcelona even more. They have already scored 28 goals in their first 9 La Liga games and have been on red hot form. Adding this Midfield Quadrant, especially Gavi and Dani Olmo will only further add gasoline to the already raging fire. Hence, it’s no wonder that these injury boosts couldn’t come at a better time for Barcelona.
Moreover, with all the other injuries the Catalan club is suffering every match week, these addidtions to the matchday squads will feel no more like new players for Hansi Flick and FC Barcelona.
