Barcelona is facing a major headache ahead of their massive Copa del Rey semi-final against Atletico Madrid this Thursday. The team will be without two of their biggest stars, Marcus Rashford and Raphinha, leaving coach Hansi Flick with a serious shortage of wingers.
The Injury Breakdown:
Marcus Rashford: The English star picked up a painful knee injury during last weekend's win over Real Mallorca. Coach Flick confirmed that Rashford is in too much pain to play and will be rested as a precaution.
Raphinha: He is still recovering from a thigh strain. The coaching staff is being extra careful with him to avoid a long-term injury.
Other Absentees: The squad is already thin, with key players like Pedri, Gavi, and Christensen out with long-term injuries.
The Game Plan: With no natural left-sided attackers available, Barcelona might have to play stars like Ferran Torres or Dani Olmo out of their usual positions to fill the gap at the Metropolitano Stadium.
