Barcelona vs Athletic Club Team News and Key Players

 

FC Barcelona suffered a significant blow just hours before the match, as captain and veteran goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen was ruled out due to a fresh injury sustained during training in Jeddah. He has returned to Spain for medical tests, with Inaki Pena expected to start in goal. Real Madrid Seeks Financial Transparency in FC Barcelona's Negreira Case; Legal Battle Between Spanish Giants Takes New Turn.

On a positive note, the Blaugrana welcome back Ronald Araujo to the squad, though Hansi Flick has indicated the defender may not be ready for a full 90 minutes. Lamine Yamal, Robert Lewandowski, and Dani Olmo—who scored in the recent 2–0 win over Espanyol—are all fit and expected to start.

Athletic Club, led by Ernesto Valverde, arrives in Saudi Arabia seeking consistency after a mixed run in La Liga. The Basque side will rely heavily on the pace of the Williams brothers, Inaki and Nico, to exploit a depleted Barcelona defense that is also missing the injured Andreas Christensen.
