Lamine Yamal is back in the Barcelona team against Real Sociedad, but will have to wait to return after being appointed to the bench.
Yamal missed Barça’s last four games due to a groin injury, his absence that occurred after designing pain relievers to play for Spain during the last international break.
But he is in good shape enough to play a role against Sociedad, although Hansi Flick’s decision to keep it on the bench is probably made on Wednesday on the visit of the Paris Saint-Germain Champions League on Wednesday.
Flick made seven changes on the side that beat Real Oviedo 3-1.
Wojciech Szczesny arrives for Joan Garcia in order, while Jules Kounde and Andreas Christensen replace Eric Garcia and Pau Cubarsi at the back.
Frenkie de Jong replaces Martin Casado in the midfield. Roony Bardghji only made his second departure for the club in place of Raphinha, and the teenager Dro Fernandez made his debut, taking the place left by Dani Olmo.
In advance, Robert Lewandowski leads the line instead of Ferran Torres.
Barcelona: Szczesny; Kounde, Christensen, Araujo, Martin; De Jong, Pedri; Bardghji, Dro Fernandez, Rashford; Lewandowski
Sub: Cubarsi, Ferran, Lamine Yamal, Casado, Olmo, Bernal, Eric Garcia, Jofra, A. Fernandez, Kocher, Eder first.
