Eric Garcia and Christensen back in the group for Atletico

FC Barcelona

Good news for Hansi Flick ahead of matchday 12 in LaLiga EA Sports against Atletico Madrid. Eric Garcia and Andreas Christensen have trained with the group and will be available for FC Barcelona's next fixture.

The Barcelona coach therefore gains two important options for a defence that has been hampered by a lack of numbers in recent weeks. The only negative is still Jules Kounde, who has not trained with his team-mates and will be ruled out again.

Eric Garcia's availability puts him firmly in contention for the starting XI. In terms of the predicted line-up, the defender could come in at right-back in place of Fariñas, although the line-up is not confirmed.

Christensen's case looks different. Despite being back with the group, going straight into the starting XI appears a less certain possibility, so Gerard Martin could remain at left-sided centre-back alongside Cubarsi.

With that scenario, Flick regains some room to reshape his back line against a top-level opponent, while Fantasy managers will need to keep an eye on the confirmed line-ups before making final decisions.
