According to Voetbal International, coach Xavi Flick has several options for the defence, including Frenkie de Jong. The Dutch player has recovered from a knee injury that kept him out in the first weeks of the season and was included in the squad for the match against Real Betis, but was left on the bench for 90 minutes. Flick has not yet made a decision on the availability of Gerard Martín, who is injured, but has taken him to Paris. To alleviate the problems, Àlex Campos, a defender from the second team, has been added to the squad.
