Hi community!
With the exception of Raphinha and Koundé, the Blaugranas have not accumulated too many minutes in their commitments with their national teams.
All of Barcelona's internationals have already finished their participation with their respective national teams. The Catalans are not getting too many minutes during this break, with the exception of Koundé and Raphinha. Therefore, Hansi Flick can breathe. With so many injured players, it was very important that the Barça players returned in perfect condition after attending their national team match. They could all return to training tomorrow, Thursday.
The players called up by Spain to face Denmark and Switzerland have not had much of a load. The one who has played the most is Marc Casadó. The midfielder played 90 minutes in the second game and 20 in the first. A total of 110. Pau Cubarsí rested against the Danes and completed the match against the Swiss. Pedri, for his part, accumulated 89 minutes between the two games, while Dani Olmo, only 70. In the case of Pablo Torre, with the U21, he was on the pitch for 27.
In the case of De Jong, Ronald Koeman released him from the second match of the Netherlands, against Bosnia, to reduce the Barça player's match load. In addition, the Dutchman has recently recovered from a long ankle injury and is still in the rehabilitation phase. On the other hand, Koundé and Raphinha did add many minutes to their legs. In the case of the Frenchman, 172, while the Brazilian completed both matches with his national team.
It should also be remembered that Lewandowski did not travel with Poland to finish recovering from lower back pain. He was expected to be out for 10 days and although he is expected to be back for the match against Celta, he has not yet worked with the group. Lamine Yamal did not travel with Spain either, with a grade 1 injury to the syndesmosis of his right ankle after the match against Real Sociedad, which will keep him out for two to three weeks.
See You soon! 🏐
