Barca will face Galatasaray without Raphinha

Barcelona, which beat Feyenoord 5-1 in its opening match of this season's Champions League, is currently on a streak of nine consecutive wins across all competitions. However, Galatasaray lost to Sporting CP (3-1) in their first group stage match and will look to redeem themselves in front of their fans.

Flick will have to manage without Brazilian forward Raphinha, who is out for the trip to Turkey due to injury. The captain of the Blaugrana suffered a thigh injury with his national team during the international break and did not play on Saturday against Getafe (3-0). Frenkie de Jong, Andreas Christensen, and Roony Bardghji are also absent due to physical issues. However, promising young players Hamza Abdelkarim (18 years old) and Brian Farinas (20 years old) are part of the squad.

Galatasaray will have to deal with the absence of Okan Buruk but can count on Victor Osimhen, who is returning from injury. The exact health status of Osimhen remains uncertain and could influence the final composition of the Turkish team.

Team Lineups

The probable lineup for Galatasaray is: Çakır; Gül, Sánchez, Bardakcı, Jakobs; Torreira, Sara, Akgün; Sané, Yılmaz, Leão.

For Barcelona, the lineup could be: García; Koundé, Cubarsí, Éric García, Cancelo; Pedri, Rodri, Olmo; Yamal, Jesus, Gordon.
