Barcelona to face La Liga fixture with seven players unavailable
Barcelona will be without seven players for their La Liga fixture on 27 August, with kick-off set for 19:00 UTC, as the club continues to manage a lengthy absentee list just two matchdays into the season.
The list follows Barcelona's report earlier this week on missing players for a previous La Liga fixture, underlining how squad availability has become a recurring theme for the club early this season.
Injury absences
Roony Bardghji, Frenkie de Jong and Gavi are all listed as unavailable because of knee injuries, while Rodri is absent for lacking match fitness. None of the four are expected to feature in the upcoming fixture.
Coach's decisions
Alejandro Balde, Marc Casado and Héctor Fort have each been left out as coach's decisions, adding further names to a list already thinned by injury.
