A key update is the return of Lamine Yamal and Ferran Torres to the fold, both of whom have been included in the matchday squad after recovering from injury.
Yamal, who has missed the last three games for Barcelona, against Real Sociedad, Celta Vigo, and Brest, as well as two international fixtures for Spain, is back after recovering from a Grade 1 ankle injury suffered during a Champions League match against Red Star Belgrade.
Ferran Torres, who has also been sidelined for almost two months due to a thigh injury picked up at Mendizorroza, has now rejoined the squad.
However, several other injured players remain unavailable for selection. Marc-Andre ter Stegen, Ansu Fati, Andreas Christensen, Marc Bernal, and the recently recovering Ronald Araujo are all still in the treatment room.
Araujo has begun some on-pitch work with his teammates, though he's not yet fit for a return. Additionally, midfielder Casado is suspended for this fixture following a second yellow card in the defeat to Celta Vigo.
Flick has named a full squad for the match, which includes: Joan Cubarsi, Alejandro Balde, Inigo Martinez, Gavi (Pablo Gavi), Ferran Torres, Pedro Gonzalez (Pedri), Robert Lewandowski, Raphinha (Raphael Dias Belloli), Inaki Pena, Pablo Torre, Fermin Lopez, Pau Victor, Lamine Yamal, Daniel Olmo, Frenkie de Jong, Jules Kounde, Eric Garcia, Wojciech Szczesny, Arnau Astralaga, Hector Fort, Gerard Martin, Sergi Dominguez and Guillermo.
