Barcelona will be without its captain for the first time this season when Hansi Flick's side hosts Getafe on Wednesday.
Despite getting off to a perfect start in La Liga, Barcelona has suffered several setbacks in its 2024–25 campaign. First the club bid a farewell to İlkay Gündoğan, then it could not get Dani Olmo officially registered until its third match of the season. Injuries also began to build as the weeks progressed; on top of the long list of players sidelined from the summer, Marc Bernal tore his ACL and Olmo injured his hamstring.
