Sevilla vs Barcelona Key Injuries
Injuries and availability could still affect the betting outlook ahead of kickoff at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan. Barcelona has two confirmed absences, while the status of goalkeeper Joan García requires further clarification.
FC Barcelona Injuries
- Frenkie De Jong (Midfielder) – Out.
- Roony Bardghji (Midfielder/Forward) – Out.
- Joan García (Goalkeeper) – Questionable: Forced off at halftime against Racing Santander on Wednesday; his availability remains unclear.
De Jong and Bardghji are listed among Barcelona’s absences. Joan García’s early exit against Racing Santander is worth monitoring, but it should not be treated as a confirmed absence unless Barcelona provides an update.
Sevilla FC Injuries
- Ruben Vargas (Midfielder) – Out.
- Arouna Sangante (Defender) – Out.
Barcelona will be without De Jong and Bardghji, while Sevilla is missing Vargas and Sangante. Any late updates to either team’s injury list should be considered before placing a wager.
