MDPedri trained nominally after the cramps that led to his substitution against Atlético. In terms of absences, Gavi, Ter Stegen, Dani Olmo, and Ronald Araujo remain on the sidelines; in the case of the Uruguayan, he maintains his decision to take time to mentally recover and return in the best conditions. Overall, the blaugranas aim to sustain the positive momentum in a high-level match against Real Betis.
