FC Barcelona faces a demanding visit to El Sadar this Saturday, and Hansi Flick seems to have the team quite defined with which he could start against Osasuna. According to what Mundo Deportivo revealed, the German coach rehearsed in the last session with a starting eleven formed by Joan Garcia; Eric García, Cubarsí, Gerard Martín, Cancelo; Gavi, Pedri; Roony Bardghji, Dani Olmo, Fermín; and Lewandowski.

The big novelty would be at right-back. With Jules Koundé suspended, Flick would have tested Eric García as a substitute, a solution he has already used during other phases of the season that allows Cubarsí and Gerard Martín to remain in the center of defense. On the other side, Cancelo would continue ahead of Balde, an important decision in fantasy terms because it confirms the Portuguese player still has the advantage to occupy the left-back position.
In midfield, the bet would be on Gavi and Pedri as a double pivot, leaving Frenkie de Jong out of the practiced eleven. Ahead, Dani Olmo would act as the playmaker, with Roony Bardghji on the right and Fermín López on the left. Roonys presence is especially relevant, as Flick would continue trusting him as a replacement for the injured Lamine Yamal.

Another important takeaway comes in attack. Lewandowski would start with an advantage over Ferran Torres to occupy the front of the attack in a crucial match for the Blaugrana. The Polish player is once again positioned as the main option in the starting lineup tested by Flick and is set to start barring a last-minute twist.

There are also positive updates in the infirmary. Raphinha and Marc Bernal have returned to group training and could be medically cleared before travelling, although all signs indicate that if they are included in the squad, they would not start. Christensens case is different: he has also trained with the group, but still needs more time before receiving final approval.
It is worth remembering that this is a rehearsed eleven, not an official lineup, so attention will have to be paid to the squad call and the last clues before the start of the matchday.
