The FC Barcelona squad will take on Atalanta this Wednesday  in the UEFA Champions League, but they will do so without key players Dani Olmo and Andreas Christensen, both sidelined due to injury.

Injury Woes for Barcelona Ahead of Champions League Clash

Andreas Christensen sustained a right soleus muscle injury during Monday’s training session, ruling him out for approximately three weeks.

Dani Olmo remains unavailable due to an ongoing muscle overload, missing his third consecutive match after being sidelined against Benfica (4-5) and Valencia (7-1).

These absences add to an already lengthy injury list, which includes Marc-André ter Stegen, Iñigo Martínez, and Marc Bernal, further complicating Hansi Flick’s lineup decisions.

Barcelona’s Full Squad for the Atalanta Match

Despite these setbacks, Barcelona will still field a strong squad at the Estadio Olímpico Lluís Companys for their final Champions League group stage match.

With several key players missing, the Blaugrana will need their younger talents to step up as they aim to secure a strong finish in the Champions League group stage.

Big Clash in the Champions League

Barcelona will test its strong form—having won five of its last six matches—in the final game of the Champions League group stage, where it will host Atalanta. The Italian side is also in excellent shape, fighting to secure second place and even contend for the top spot in the group.

Hansi Flick’s squad is enjoying a great run, winning six of its last seven European matches. The team is clicking at the perfect time, heading into the decisive phase of the season.

However, Gian Piero Gasperini’s Atalanta is also experiencing one of the best periods in its history. Currently third in Serie A, the team has reached the Coppa Italia quarterfinals and already secured a spot in the knockout stage. Now, the Italian club is chasing direct qualification to the Round of 16, a goal that Barcelona has already achieved.

Two standout players have led Barcelona in Europe—Robert Lewandowski, with nine goals, and Raphinha, with eight. Both will start at Montjuïc, forming an attacking trio alongside Lamine Yamal.
