Barcelona Stars Scatter Across the Globe: Where to Catch All 10 Players in International Action
A considerable number of Barcelona stars will join their national squads during the October international window.
After suffering a disappointing loss to Sevilla, 10 Barcelona players have departed to various European destinations to prepare for friendly matches or World Cup qualifying fixtures.
Barcelona enters this break having experienced back-to-back defeats for the first time in 2025. Hansi Flick will have a fortnight to address Barcelona's mounting concerns, while other players will receive essential rest and several more time to heal from injuries.
Flick pointed to exhaustion as a primary factor behind Barça's recent setback against PSG, but following three matches in seven days, 10 Blaugrana stars will have no opportunity to recuperate as the demanding season schedule persists.
Seven distinct national squads will benefit from Barça players in their forthcoming fixtures. With Raphinha currently sidelined and Ronald Araújo omitted from Marcelo Bielsa's Uruguay roster, Barcelona has no representation beyond European nations.
Here's a comprehensive overview of how to follow every Barcelona player throughout the October international period.

Despite Lamine Yamal, Gavi and Fermín López being unavailable due to injuries, Barcelona still contributed four players to the Spain national squad for their upcoming encounters, maintaining their role as a significant talent pipeline for La Roja as they were during their successful period.
Robert Lewandowski and Marcus Rashford are the sole Barcelona representatives who will participate in matches beyond UEFA's 2026 World Cup qualifying campaign. Both Poland and England will stage friendly encounters before traveling for their qualifying fixtures.
All remaining Barcelona players will concentrate exclusively on assisting their nations in their efforts to earn qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
