FC Barcelona<\/strong> visits Celta<\/strong> this Saturday at Bala\u00eddos<\/strong> for matchday 12 of LaLiga EA Sports 2025\/26<\/strong>. Currently, Hansi Flick’s team has 5 players out due to injury against the Galician team, although the list of injured players could expand to 6 with Jules Kound\u00e9<\/strong>.<\/p> The Frenchman played 90 minutes on Wednesday in the 3-3 draw against Bruges<\/a>, but returned from Belgium with discomfort from a hard knock during the Champions League match that prevented him from training on Friday in the open-door session at Spotify Camp Nou<\/a><\/p> Although he returned to training with the group at the Ciutat Esportiva on Saturday, he was unable to complete the session, and Hansi Flick himself acknowledged that his presence in the squad against Celta “is complicated<\/strong>“.<\/p> The ’23’, for now, **adds 1,100 minutes of action in the 15 matches played by Bar\u00e7a** in 25\/26. Kound\u00e9, for now, was only a substitute in three league matchdays and contributed 1 goal and 1 assist to the team.<\/p> Those who will be able to travel to Vigo along with the squad are Andreas Christensen<\/strong> and Eric Garc\u00eda<\/strong>. The Dane missed the last three games due to a mild right calf injury<\/strong>, but on Saturday he trained with the group and is expected to reappear in the Celta-Bar\u00e7a match.<\/p> **Eric**, for his part, will also be able to play at Bala\u00eddos, although he will have to do so wearing a protective mask. **The Martorell native suffered a nasal fracture** in the final minutes of the match in Bruges, but he has trained normally ahead of matchday 12 of the league.<\/p> In fact, if Kound\u00e9’s absence is confirmed, **the ’24’ would be the chosen one to occupy the right flank**, while Ronald Araujo and Pau Cubars\u00ed would be the center-backs. Garc\u00eda started in the last five matches, always in the heart of defense, his natural position.<\/p> Those who will indeed remain on the sidelines until after the season’s third break are Joan Garc\u00eda and Raphinha. The goalkeeper is already medically cleared to return after undergoing surgery on his left meniscus at the end of September, but the coaching staff decided to give him two more weeks of rest.In that regard, Szczesny <\/strong>will remain in goal against Celta, while for the match against Athletic, on November 22<\/a>, the one from Sallent should return to the XI for the first time since matchday 6 of the League, against Oviedo. That match was also Raphinha’s last before his right thigh injury<\/p> The Brazilian was hoping to return in the Cl\u00e1sico of matchday 10, but his injury relapsed. However, there is confidence in recovering him for league matchday 13, against the Basques. Pedri Gonz\u00e1lez<\/a>, on the other hand, could be out until early December due to a tear in his left femoral biceps<\/p> Next month also marks the expected return of Marc-Andr\u00e9 ter Stegen<\/a>. The German is in the final stages of recovery following back surgery and would be available for the last matches of 2025, as a third option in goal for the Blaugrana. Gavi<\/a>, on the other hand, will be out until at least February after undergoing surgery on his right meniscus<\/p> Christensen and Eric Garc\u00eda will be available against Celta<\/h2>
Joan Garc\u00eda and Raphinha to reappear after the November break<\/h2>
