FC Barcelona vs Getafe Preview
FC Barcelona
The injury list in Hansi Flick’s camp continues to grow. While Gavi, Frenkie de Jong, and Marc Bartra made headlines earlier this season due to their injuries, another long-term casualty has joined Barcelona’s roster of sidelined players.
Captain Marc-André ter Stegen injured his knee, with club reports confirming a rupture that required surgery. The goalkeeper is expected to be out for at least 7 months, possibly up to a year. At 33, this could potentially be a career-ending setback.

Iñaki Peña, Barcelona’s second-choice goalkeeper, failed to impress in his previous opportunities. At 25, this may be his final chance at the club to address his apparent shakiness and uncertainty.
Barcelona’s 5-1 victory against Villarreal, despite the shock of ter Stegen’s injury, marked their sixth consecutive win in La Liga.
While domestic form is strong, Barcelona’s European campaign requires immediate improvement. The team stumbled in its opening Champions League match against AS Monaco after an early red card – mistakes that must be avoided to mount a serious challenge in the competition.

The upcoming match against Getafe presents an opportunity for rotation, building on the changes already implemented in the Villarreal game. This strategy aims to keep the squad fresh for the crucial European tie against Young Boys in a week’s time.
| Recent Form | WWWLW |
| Key Player to Watch | Jules Koundé |
| Team Strengths | Devastating attack, multiple creation outlets, efficient high-line suffocating opponents |
| Team Weaknesses | Dangerous high-line |
| Key injuries and suspensions. | Marc Bernal, Marc-André Ter Stegen, Gavi, Frenkie de Jong, Dani Olmo, Fermin López, Andreas Christensen, Ronald Araújo |
Getafe
The most notable absence for Getafe’s upcoming match is not a player, but their manager, José Bordalás. He received a suspension following an intense encounter with Real Betis, where his team accumulated eight yellow cards. The aftermath extended to the press conference, with Bordalás responding to Manuel Pellegrini’s comments. Without their head coach, Getafe faces a significant disadvantage for their trip to Barcelona. Additionally, Álvaro Rodríguez and Nabil Touaizi are sidelined due to injuries.

While Barcelona dominates La Liga despite multiple injuries, Getafe’s situation is markedly different. Bordalás’s team is battling relegation, and are still winless in the 2024/25 season. Their current record stands at four draws and two losses, placing them eighteenth with four points, level with Valencia. Only Las Palmas fares worse with two points.
| Recent Form | DDLLD |
| Key Player to Watch | Borja Mayoral |
| Team Strengths | Deep block difficult to break through |
| Team Weaknesses | Lack of build-up and possession, not enough attacking outlets, dependence on Mayoral to score |
| Key injuries and suspensions. | Álvaro Rodriguez, Nabil, José Bordalas (suspension) |
