Key Player Return: Barcelona's Full XI to Face Girona Revealed

German coach Hansi Flick's officially announced Barcelona's starting lineup for their crucial La Liga Round 9 clash against Girona at the Olympic Stadium in Montjuic.

Situation in La Liga

Barcelona enter the game sitting 2nd in the table with 19 point from 8 match (6W – 1D – 1L) but the mood in the dressing room remains tense following 4-1 defeat to Sevilla last time out.

Flick’s men know that nothing less than 3 point will do if they are to keep pace with leaders Real Madrid before they turn their attention to Tuesday’s Champions League clash with Olympiacos.

Girona meanwhile are struggling in mid table. The Catalan minnows are 7th with just 6 point (1W – 3D – 4L).

Barcelona Starting XI vs Girona

Substitutes: Araujo, Christensen, Fermin López, Gerard Martin, Bernal, Jofre Torrents, Roony Bardghji, Diego Kochen, Eder Aller, Juan Garcia, Xavi Espart

All Eyes on Yamal’s Return

The big news for Barca fans's the return of Lamine Yamal to the starting lineup.

The 17 year old sensation who missed the Sevilla clash due to fitness issues, received the medical green light this week and is expected to be focal point of Flick’s attack once again.

His link up with Rashford and Toni Fernandez will be crucial as Barcelona seek more clinical edge in the final 3rd , something that was sorely lacking in their last outing.
