The line-up of players called upon by Barcelona head coach Hansi Flick for the club’s meeting with Real Sociedad has been unveiled online.
And it features a number of altogether head-turning inclusions.
Barcelona are of course primed to return to action in short order.
In the knowledge that a victory would see them leapfrog arch rivals Real Madrid to the summit of the La Liga table, the Blaugrana have welcomed the aforementioned Real Socieadad to Catalunya’s capital.
Barca head into the matchup brimming with confidence, fresh off a 4th successive victory across all competitions during the week.
In turn, it may come as something of a surprise to hear of Hansi Flick opting for heavy rotation for the evening.
Amid mounting injury problems in his squad, the German tactician has opted to afford starts to the likes of Andreas Christensen, Roony Bardghji and Pedro ‘Dro’ Fernández.
