Barcelona will cut their international break short by a couple of days to face Osasuna at the Montjuïc Olympic Stadium on Thursday, in a rearranged La Liga fixture due to the tragic death of first team doctor Carles Miñarro three weeks ago.

The Blaugrana have a number of questions regarding their lineup given some injury and availability issues for many of their stars, and Hansi Flick has a bit of a selection headache for this one.

One of the biggest questions is at the back, with Ronald Araujo already ruled out due to his long trip back from Uruguay duty and Pau Cubarsí a major doubt thanks to the ankle injury he picked up while playing for Spain last week, leaving Flick with very few defensive options available.
