Osasuna will also arrive in Barcelona with two significant absences

Osasuna's coach, Vicente Moreno, will have two significant absences in his XI for the match on Thursday against FC Barcelona. The rescheduled match of matchday 27 of LaLiga in Montjuïc comes at a difficult time of the season for the 'rojillos', who arrive with a streak of five consecutive matches without a win (three draws and two losses) and only one victory in their last 15 league matches (2-1 against Real Sociedad).

Additionally, the team from Pamplona will arrive in Catalonia with the absences of Bryan Zaragoza (injury) and Lucas Torró (suspension). The '19' was a starter in the last four matches and has accumulated 1,477 minutes in 22 appearances (1 goal and 5 assists) this season. Bryan suffers from an apparent hamstring injury, which could force him to stop for about three weeks.

In the case of '6', he was booked against Valencia and Getafe, which brought him to five yellow cards for the second time in the tournament. Lucas has scored 3 goals in 29 matches and had not missed a match since matchday 21 (he was a substitute against Las Palmas). Previously, on matchday 15 (Sevilla), he also could not play due to accumulated cards. In total, the midfielder has 10 yellow cards, two fewer than Abdel Abqar (Alavés) and one less than Álex Suárez (Las Palmas) and Yvan Neyou (Leganés).

Enzo Boyomo, another doubt for Osasuna against Barça

The other headache for Vicente Moreno ahead of the visit to Barça is the doubt of Enzo Boyomo. The center-back was a substitute on Tuesday with Cameroon against Libya (3-1) and will only return to Spain on Wednesday afternoon, so his presence in the XI this Thursday is uncertain. The 23-year-old defender has played every possible minute in 25 of Osasuna's 27 league matches in the 24-25 season, scoring a couple of goals against Mallorca and Celta.

Thus, Osasuna could arrive with a weakened defense against Barça, a rival they already surprised in matchday 8 in Pamplona (4-2). However, since that victory, the team has barely won three matches out of 19 possible and has fallen to 14th place in the standings, just 6 points above the relegation zone currently occupied by Leganés, Las Palmas, and Valladolid.

• Possible XI of Osasuna against Barça: Herrera; Areso, Catena, Herrando, Cruz; Muñoz, Moncayola, Oroz; Barja, García, and Budimir.
