Real Sociedadvs.Barcelona

sportsmole.co.uk, 7 November 2024, 11:13
Barcelona will be aiming to make it eight straight wins in all competitions when they resume their La Liga campaign with a clash against Real Sociedad on Sunday night.

The Catalan outfit have won each of their last four league matches, including a 3-1 success over Espanyol last weekend, and they currently sit top of the La Liga table, nine points clear of second-placed Real Madrid.

Hansi Flick's side were 5-2 winners over Red Star Belgrade in the Champions League on Wednesday, meanwhile, with the result leaving them sixth in the Champions League table, boasting nine points from four matches.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Barcelona's injury and suspension news ahead of the clash with Real Sociedad, who sit down in 11th spot in the table, having made an underwhelming start to the campaign.

Pau Cubarsi

Status: Major doubt

Type of injury: Face

Possible return date: November 10 (vs. Real Sociedad)

Cubarsi suffered a nasty cut to his cheek during the Champions League clash with Red Star Belgrade, which required him to have as many as ten stitches, but the centre-back still has a chance of featuring against Real Sociedad.

Ronald Araujo

Status: Out

Type of injury: Hamstring

Possible return date: November 26 (vs. Brest)

Araujo will again miss out for Barcelona against Real Sociedad, but the centre-back has revealed that he is making excellent progress in his recovery from a hamstring operation, with his return set to come before the end of November.

Andreas Christensen

Status: Out

Type of injury: Achilles

Possible return date: November 23 (vs. Celta Vigo)

Christensen remains on the treatment table with an Achilles problem, but the Denmark international is said to be in the latter stages of his recovery, with a return to action potentially occurring immediately after the November international break.

Marc Bernal

Status: Out

Type of injury: Knee

Possible return date: Unknown

Bernal suffered an ACL injury against Rayo Vallecano in the league earlier this term, and he is out for the season, with the youngster working to be ready for pre-season ahead of the 2025-26 campaign.

Marc-Andre ter Stegen

Status: Out

Type of injury: Knee

Possible return date: Unknown

Barcelona will be missing their number one goalkeeper Ter Stegen for the remainder of the season due to the serious knee injury that he suffered in the clash with Villarreal on September 22.

Ferran Torres

Status: Out

Type of injury: Thigh

Possible return date: Unknown

Barcelona remain without the services of versatile forward Torres due to the thigh problem that he suffered during his side's clash with Alaves before the October international break.

Eric Garcia

Status: Out

Type of injury: Muscle

Possible return date: November 23 (vs. Celta Vigo)

Barcelona have been without Garcia for their last four matches due to a muscular problem, and the Spaniard will not be available for selection until after the November international break.
