Flick drops Raphinha for Barcelona’s Getafe clash, adds Hamza
Barcelona coach Hansi Flick has left out Raphinha for Saturday’s La Liga match against Getafe, calling up Egyptian striker Hamza Abdel Karim.
Getafe faces an uphill battle against FC Barcelona at the Spotify Camp Nou this evening, as the Madrid-based side will be without two key players due to muscular discomfort. The notable absences include striker Enes Unal and defensive midfielder Orel Mangala, both of whom are regulars in Getafe's starting lineup. This comes as a surprise, as Spanish media had predicted Unal would lead the attack alongside fellow signing Ivan Azon.
The challenge is further compounded by the prior unavailability of Juanmi and Christantus Uche. With Barcelona in excellent form and targeting their eighth consecutive La Liga victory, Getafe will need to cope with a significantly weakened squad in their upcoming La Liga clash.
