Sunday's Clásico between Barcelona and Real Madrid could prove to be a defining moment of the season.
Hansi Flick's side have been perfect in La Liga through nine matches and can extend their lead over their fierce rivals to nine points with a home victory at Camp Nou this weekend.
While a win wouldn't necessarily seal the title race, it would deliver a significant psychological blow to Madrid and make Barcelona the first club in history to begin a season with 10 consecutive victories.
Barça would ideally have all their key players available for such a crucial fixture. However, Flick faces a number of fitness concerns heading into the match. Below is a full rundown of the injury problems the squad is dealing with ahead of the showdown.
Roony Bardghji
The promising Swedish winger sustained an anterior cruciate ligament injury during preseason and is expected to miss the entire season while he recuperates.
There have been reports suggesting Flick views Bardghji as expendable, and the player could potentially be sold once he regains full fitness.
Andreas Christensen
Having already missed a large portion of last season due to a serious knee problem, Christensen suffered a thigh strain in September and faces more than a month on the sidelines.
The central defender, who has featured six times in 2026–27, is expected to make his comeback following the November international break.
Eric García
García was forced off during the 5–2 away triumph over Real Betis and was subsequently confirmed to have sustained a thigh problem.
The club estimated his recovery at three to four weeks, ruling him out of the Real Madrid clash, with a return expected either just before or shortly after the November international break.
Dani Olmo
Olmo was among the casualties in Barcelona's 4–2 Champions League loss to Paris Saint-Germain in midweek, hobbling off in the opening half and raising doubts about his fitness for the weekend derby against Madrid.
Barcelona subsequently confirmed an adductor injury, with the club indicating the midfielder faces approximately one month on the sidelines during his recovery.
Jules Koundé
Koundé was one of two right-back absentees during the Betis win, alongside García, presenting Flick with a potential selection headache in the lead-up to the Clásico.
"We hope that maybe he [Koundé] could also be an option for the weekend, but we have to see. We have to wait," Flick told the media regarding the Frenchman's minor ankle sprain — though that statement came before he missed additional training sessions.
