Barcelona and Sevilla go head-to-head in La Liga at the Spotify Camp Nou on Sunday, in a Matchday 28 clash.
Barcelona are currently leading the La Liga table with 67 points from 27 matches. Sevilla sit in 15th in the table with 31 points from 27 matches, six points above the relegation zone.
Hansi Flick will again be without several key players through injury, with Alejandro Balde, Frenkie de Jong and Jules Kounde all ruled out until around April due to thigh and hamstring problems.
Andreas Christensen is still sidelined due to his ACL injury. Gavi returned to the bench against Newcastle in midweek and could be involved in this match in some way.
Lamine Yamal and Eric Garcia are fine and are set to start the match, while Marc Bernal has been managing illness and faces a late fitness test according to recent injury round-ups.
As the second leg of the Champions League round of 16 is yet to be completed, Hansi Flick might decide to rotate the squad slightly and include the likes of Dani Olmo and Ferran Torres from the very start.
The Andalusian side is dealing with several absences of its own, with defender Marcao Teixeira sidelined by a foot problem and forward Peque (ankle) also ruled out.
Kike Salas (calf) is also among those on the treatment table heading into this match.
Cesar Azpilicueta has also been managing fitness issues in 2026 and was subbed off in the 59th minute against Rayo Vallecano. While initially considered a doubt, he looks to be fine and ready to start.
The Catalan side recently drew with Newcastle United in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16 as Lamine Yamal scored with the last kick of the game. Before that, they secured a 1–0 victory away to Athletic Bilbao, with Lamine Yamal scoring the decisive goal to extend Barcelona’s lead in the La Liga title race.
Sevilla are on a five-match unbeaten run with their latest result being a 1-1 draw with Rayo Vallecano.
They will be boosted by the fact that they have won the reverse fixture earlier in the campaign convincingly (4-1) at the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan Stadium. The victory ended a decade-long wait for a league win over the Catalan giants and was considered a major statement result for the club.
Barcelona: J Garcia; Araujo, Cubarsi, E Garcia, Martin; Casado, Pedri; Yamal, Olmo, Raphinha; F Torres
Sevilla: Vlachodimos; Azpilicueta, Nianzou, Gudelj, Salas; Juanlu, Agoume, Sow, Carmona; Adams, Romero
