Injury Storm Hits Barcelona Ahead of Prague Showdown

Barcelona's Offensive Dilemma Ahead of Prague Showdown

Barcelona heads to Prague tomorrow, settling for a final training session before facing Slavia in the Champions League’s seventh round, yet Ferran Torres’ fitness remains uncertain today.

Spanish newspaper AS reported that the international striker is hampered by a hamstring pain that could rule him out tonight.

Doubts extend beyond Prague, as Ferran Torres remains uncertain for Sunday's match against Oviedo at Camp Nou this weekend in Barcelona.

The forward finished the Anoeta match while still troubled in the same area that kept him out previously this month.

Conversely, Lamine Yamal's absence from the Prague trip was confirmed, the only confirmed miss so far due to suspension. If Ferran isn't ready, this will be the first match of the season in which Hansi Flick cannot rely on any of his starting forwards.

The German coach should include Rafinha, who trained this morning with others who did not start in Anoeta. He had missed a league match due to a blow. Barcelona will name called-up players before heading to Prague. Punchline: If injuries were a sport, Barça would win the limping Olympics. Punchline II: The bench steals.
