Hansi Flick will not be able to count on Ferran Torres for the visit to Slavia Prague. The forward is suffering from hamstring discomfort and will be out as a precaution

Calendar of FC Barcelona

FC Barcelona visits Slavia Prague this Wednesday (21:00) for matchday 7 of the UEFA Champions League 2025/26 and will do so without their top scorer available. Ferran Torres, who has scored 15 goals in 27 games this season, will not travel to the Czech Republic after leaving the match against Real Sociedad (2-1) with hamstring discomfort.

The 'Shark' was already out in October against Girona (2-1) and Olympiacos (6-1) due to muscular overload in the same area and, as a precaution, will be out against Slavia. The '7' played 62 minutes against Real, being replaced by Robert Lewandowski. The Pole will surely be the team's '9' on Wednesday, likely forming the attacking trident alongside Roony Bardghji and Raphinha

Pedri, touch and go for the visit to Slavia Prague

With matchday 7 of the Champions League approaching, Pedri González is also a doubt. The midfielder suffered a very tough tackle from Carlos Soler in the final minutes of the match, which led to the expulsion of the player from the San Sebastián team. Fortunately, there was no injury to the '8' of the Catalan team's right ankle, but the Canary Islander left Anoeta in a lot of pain.

In that regard, although he will travel with the team to Prague, it would not be surprising if **Hansi Flick** rested the player from Tegueste on Wednesday. The blow was very hard and, just as happened with Raphinha after the visit to Racing (0-2), the coaching staff will not take risks by forcing one of his starters if the player arrives with any discomfort

The Brazilian was out as a precaution against Real Sociedad due to discomfort in his right thigh. If Pedri does not train normally in the session prior to the match, he will surely remain on the bench. In that case, Dani Olmo could take his place, accompanying Frenkie de Jong in midfield.

Raphinha, ready to reappear in Champions League this Wednesday

On the contrary, he should be available from the start against Slavia Prague. The '11' trained normally on Monday at the Ciutat Esportiva and is aiming for the starting XI for matchday 7 of the Champions League. Rapha was a starter and played 66 minutes against Eintracht (2-1), but has yet to score in the tournament where, in 24/25, he was the Pichichi with 13 goals (tied with Serhou Guirrassy).

In addition to Ferran Torres, the other confirmed absences for Barcelona on Wednesday, due to injury, are **Pablo Gavi** and **Andreas Christensen**. Both are recovering from long-term injuries, and in the case of the Dane, he will likely spend the rest of the season in the infirmary. The midfielder, on the other hand, will be out for at least another month

The other absences for Barça in Prague will be Lamine Yamal, Marc-André ter Stegen, and 'Dro' Fernández. The '10' is out due to suspension, while the German goalkeeper is very close to finalizing his loan to Girona. The 18-year-old midfielder, likewise, is expected to be transferred to PSG soon.
