On Thursday, March 27, Barcelona will face Osasuna in a rescheduled La Liga match for the 27th round, but the Catalans will be without two key players.
Details: Barcelona’s head coach, Hansi Flick, confirmed that neither Raphinha nor Araujo will be available for the game. The two players participated in World Cup qualifying matches, and given the long journey from South America, both require time to rest.
It’s worth noting that on March 25, Uruguay played Bolivia away in a 0-0 draw, while Brazil suffered a heavy 1-4 defeat to Argentina.
Earlier, it was reported that La Liga had officially approved March 27 as the new date for the rescheduled 26th round match between Barcelona and Osasuna. This decision was met with strong opposition from Barcelona, with head coach Hansi Flick expressing frustration over the timing, as the match is scheduled immediately after the international break.
Reminder: Osasuna also filed an appeal against the new match date.
