Fútbol Club Barcelona faces Espanyol on matchday 12 of LaLiga EA Sports 2024-2025. For the first Catalan derby of the season, Hansi Flick has all the players in the squad at his disposal, with the exception of the six footballers who remain in the Barça infirmary.

For the duel in Montjuïc (4:15 p.m.), the German coach has called up Andrés Cuenca in place of Eric García who has not managed to recover in time from the discomfort in his right abductor that he has been carrying since the Barça-Seville preview.

With the Champions League match against Red Star (Wednesday in Belgrade) just around the corner, Flick could implement some rotations to give quality minutes to players like Dani Olmo and Gavi, both of whom are fully recovering from their competitive rhythm. The same thing happens with Frenkie de Jong, of the three who has the best chance of entering the XI against Espanyol.
