Barcelona possible starting lineup:
Ter Stegen; Kounde, Araujo, Cubarsi, Cancelo; Pedri, Christensen, Gundogan; Yamal, Lewandowski, Raphinha
Valencia possible starting lineup:
Mamardashvili; Correia, Mosquera, Ozkacar, Vazquez; Canos, Pepelu, Guerra, Lopez; Duro, Almeida
It sounds like both Barcelona and Valencia are facing some significant injury challenges ahead of their upcoming match. Losing Frenkie de Jong to another ankle injury is certainly a blow for Barcelona, especially considering the absence of other key players like Gavi and Alejandro Balde. However, it's good news that De Jong's Euro 2024 participation shouldn't be affected.
With Pedri likely to step into De Jong's role, Barcelona may still have a strong midfield presence despite the injuries. It's also reassuring that Pedri's fitness seems manageable despite his history of injuries.
On the other side, Valencia's defensive woes with Diakhaby and Gaya out could present an opportunity for Barcelona to exploit. The absence of Yaremchuk further limits their attacking options.
It'll be interesting to see if Sergi Canos gets a chance to start after his substitution in the previous match. Both teams will need to adapt to their injury-hit squads, making this match unpredictable in terms of outcomes.
