Barcelona continue to monitor Lamine Yamal as the Spanish star recovers from a pubic area injury suffered during the international break, though Frenkie de Jong could return when the Catalans begin their Champions League campaign on Thursday.
Barça returned to action following the September break without both Yamal and De Jong in the squad for their unorthodox home opener against Valencia. Hansi Flick’s team demolished Valencia 6–0 on the night at the Estadi Johan Cruyff after receiving special permission from La Liga amid Camp Nou renovations and the Estadio Olímpico Lluís Companys being unavailable.
