❌ De Jong out for Champions quarter-final first leg, Bernal too | OneFootball

FC Barcelona have completed their final training session ahead of the crucial first leg of the Champions League quarter-final against Atlético de Madrid. The big absentee — and the one causing the most concern for Hansi Flick — was Frenkie de Jong.

The Dutchman, who was pushing to make the starting XI, did not train with the group and is now virtually ruled out of the clash at Spotify Camp Nou.

Far from clearing up, Barça’s treatment room continues to fill up at a critical stage of the season. Frenkie’s absence is joined by that of young gem Marc Bernal.

The midfielder had to be substituted in the last league match at the Metropolitano due to an ankle problem that will ultimately keep him out of this first European showdown.

Raphinha and Christensen complete Barça’s injury list

The situation becomes even more complicated for the coaching staff, as neither Raphinha nor Andreas Christensen will be available either.

Both players are continuing their respective recovery processes and round out an injury list that forces Flick to reshuffle his tactical setup.
