World Sports: Araujo may replace Kubasi in Elche s starting lineup

November 1st, in the 11th round of La Liga, Barcelona faced Elche at home. In the pre-match training, Flick mainly arranged for players from the previous round to train. Spanish media outlet Mundo Deportivo reported that Araujo may replace Kubasi.

Christensen has not yet participated in team training due to calf discomfort, and it is difficult to be included in the lineup for the game against Elche. A highlight of this training was the participation of center back Mbacke from Barcelona B team.

During the media opening time, Flick had a brief conversation with the players and gave some physical training guidance, then divided the players into two groups for training. One group is the starting lineup against Real Madrid last week, with Araujo replacing Kubasi. Araujo rejoined team training on Friday after taking a few days' rest as recommended by the fitness team.

The expected starting lineup is: Szczesny; Konde, Araujo, Eric Garcia, Balde; De Jong, Casado, Fermin; Yamal, Rashford, Ferran Torres.

The other group includes Lewandowski and Olmo, who have recovered from muscle injuries and are able to play against Elche. The pair had previously missed games against Girona, Olympiacos and Real Madrid due to injury.

In addition, Juan Garcia, who is recovering from a meniscus injury, once again conducted individual training on the grass at Gamper Sports City.
