Hi community!
Hansi Flick makes four changes to the team he fielded against Newcastle.
Barça closes the fifth matchday of La Liga at the Johan Cruyff Stadium against Pepe Bordalás' Getafe, rain permitting. They must secure all three points to stay in the lead with a Real Madrid side that has fifteen points out of a possible fifteen in this season's league opener after beating Espanyol (2-0) on Saturday.
In search of a second consecutive victory at the Johan Cruyff Stadium following last weekend's 6-0 thrashing of Valencia, Hansi Flick is looking for fresh legs after his men's exhaustion at Newcastle last Thursday. The German is missing Gavi, Lamine Yamal, Balde, and Ter Stegen due to injury. Pau Cubarsí was included in the squad despite the knock he suffered at Saint James' Park, but will not be in the starting lineup, with Eric Garcia replacing him. Christensen will be alongside the Catalan, giving Araujo a rest. The duo of Eric and Christensen was already in the starting lineup in Vallecas against Rayo Vallecano.
Dani Olmo also replaces Fermín. The player from Egaro hasn't been in the starting lineup since Vallecas. In attack, Ferran returns to the starting lineup for Rashford, who scored his first two goals at Newcastle and was set to start again. The Englishman arrived three minutes late to the morning press conference due to traffic issues, and Flick is adamant about it. Koundé, Iñaki Peña, and Raphinha have already suffered from this rigidity.
See You soon!
