Official: Barcelona starting lineup against Real Oviedo | La Liga MD6 | OneFootball

FC Barcelona will be hoping to close the gap to league leaders Real Madrid when they take on Real Oviedo at the Carlos Tartiere Stadium in an hour.

Currently second in the table with 13 points from five games, the Blaugrana are five points behind Real Madrid, who have won six in six.

Ahead of kickoff against the newly-promoted club, Hansi Flick has now announced the starting lineup that will take the field.

There are some interesting changes made by the manager, starting from defence, where Eric Garcia moves to right-back with Jules Kounde being rested.

Ronald Araujo and Pau Cubarsi both start in defence after not featuring against Getafe over the weekend, while Gerard Martin continues at left-back. Joan Garcia keeps his place in goal.

Moving into the middle of the park, Marc Casado gets a rare chance to make an impression, starting alongside Pedri in place of Frenkie de Jong.

Dani Olmo continues as the No. 10, with Fermin Lopez out injured.

Marcus Rashford is back in the team after being benched in the weekend game. He starts on the left, while Raphinha operates on the right wing in Lamine Yamal’s absence. Ferran Torres occupies the No. 9 role, meaning Robert Lewandowski drops to the bench.
