Latest Barcelona vs Mallorca team news
Barcelona have yet to determine the exact extent of Lewandowski's hamstring injury, but it is certain that the Polish striker will miss this match and will almost certainly not be fit in time for the Copa del Rey final.
Alejandro Balde, Marc Casado, Marc Bernal, and goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen also remain sidelined. Coach Flick is expected to make some changes to the starting lineup on Tuesday, with Lamine Yamal potentially returning to the starting XI.
Ronald Araujo and Gavi could also be recalled to the starting lineup, while Dani Olmo is likely to remain on the bench. Ferran Torres is expected to play as a central striker in place of Lewandowski.
On Mallorca's side, Manu Morlanes, Vedat Muriqi, Robert Navarro, and Takuma Asano are all doubtful for the match. However, the visitors reported no further injuries after their 0-0 draw with Leganes.
Coach Arrasate may make only one change to the starting lineup from the last match, with Antonio Sanchez potentially replacing Abdon Prats in attack.
Mallorca will most likely continue to use their familiar 5-3-2 formation, with Dani Rodriguez dropping deep in midfield, while Pablo Maffeo and Johan Mojica continue to occupy the flanks as full-backs.

Latest football match prediction: Barcelona vs Mallorca
Barcelona had a dramatic match against Celta Vigo on Saturday afternoon, where they were 3-1 down in the second half. However, three consecutive goals helped the Catalan side come back to win 4-3.
Raphinha scored the winning goal from the penalty spot in the 98th minute, securing three crucial points for Hansi Flick's side. This victory extended Barcelona's lead over second-placed Real Madrid to seven points.
This gap could be narrowed to just four points if Real Madrid beat Athletic Bilbao on Sunday night, but at the moment, Barcelona still hold their destiny in their own hands in the title race. Their 2024-25 La Liga season is proving impressive with 88 goals in 32 matches – enough to put them on track to reach 100 goals in the domestic league.
Barcelona are also aiming for a treble in the final stages of the season: they will face Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey final next weekend and Inter Milan in the Champions League semi-final.
However, the Montjuïc-based team received bad news when their star striker Robert Lewandowski suffered a hamstring injury and his return date is uncertain. This is a major blow for Hansi Flick at a crucial stage.
As for Mallorca, they suffered a humiliating 1-5 defeat against Barcelona in the first leg of this season and have not won against the Catalan team in La Liga since May 2009. The last time they won at Barca's stadium was back in 2008.
Jagoba Arrasate's team entered this match after a 0-0 draw with Leganes. However, they had secured an impressive 2-0 victory against Real Sociedad away from home on April 12th.
Mallorca are currently 7th in the league table with 44 points after 32 matches (12 wins, 8 draws, 12 losses) – a position that would secure them a place in the Europa League group stage next season.
Their current 8th place position qualifies them for the Europa Conference League play-offs, giving Mallorca a real chance to qualify for European competition – a remarkable achievement considering they finished 15th last season.
Mallorca have earned 20 points from 15 away games this season – a respectable record. However, they will face Barcelona – the team with the best home record at the temporary stadium in the 2024-25 season.
