Barcelona will be without their talismanic winger, Lamine Yamal. The 18-year-old sensation has been officially ruled out of the remainder of the season as the forward is currently recovering from a significant hamstring injury sustained in late April.

Reports from the club's medical staff indicate that while his rehabilitation is progressing well, the focus has shifted toward ensuring his fitness for Spain’s 2026 World Cup campaign this summer. Spain head coach Luis de la Fuente recently suggested that Yamal might be utilised as a high-impact substitute during the tournament's early stages to avoid a recurrence of the injury. Barcelona Star Lamine Yamal to Miss Rest of Season; Targets FIFA World Cup 2026 Return.

Hansi Flick’s side will also be without defender Jules Kounde, who is serving a suspension. With the domestic season reaching its climax, Flick is expected to lean on the depth of his squad.

Ferran Torres and Raphinha, both of whom have enjoyed productive campaigns, are likely to shoulder the attacking burden in Pamplona.
