Frenkie de Jong and Sergi Roberto Unavailable for Barcelona’s Champions League Clash with Shakhtar Donetsk
Barcelona’s Frenkie de Jong continues to be sidelined due to an ankle injury and will not participate in their upcoming Champions League encounter against Shakhtar Donetsk on Tuesday.
Sergi Roberto also remains unavailable for the team’s journey to Hamburg. However, there is positive news as Gavi returns to the squad after serving a suspension that caused him to miss the previous victory over Shakhtar on Matchday 3.
Xavi is fielding a diminished squad, with only Ander Astralaga and Marc Casado representing the youth players included in the team.
Despite the limitations, Barcelona has maintained a perfect record in the Champions League, securing three wins out of three matches. They have scored eight goals while conceding just once, solidifying their strong start in the competition.
