Latest Barcelona vs Young Boys squad information
Barcelona's list of absentees continues to grow, with Eric Garcia added to the squad through suspension following his red card against Monaco in the Champions League. Seven other players are out through injury, including Fermin Lopez, Dani Olmo, Marc Bernal, Andreas Christensen, Ronald Araujo, Gavi and Marc-Andre ter Stegen.
Frenkie de Jong has not played this season due to an ankle problem, but there is hope he will be included in the squad for this game. There will be a number of changes to the starting line-up from the La Liga clash with Osasuna, with Raphinha, Lamine Yamal, Alejandro Balde, Marc Casado and Inigo Martinez all likely to be included.
Young Boys will miss out on Saidy Janko, Patric Pfeiffer and Facinet Conte, but the Swiss side are still well-stocked for European action. Joel Monteiro has been the standout performer with five goals and seven assists in 13 games, and is a firm favourite to start. Silvere Ganvoula has also scored four goals in 2024-25 and could lead the line, while Cedric Itten could be kept on the bench despite scoring five goals this season.
Latest predicted lineup for Barcelona vs Young Boys
Barcelona:
Pena; Kounde, Cubarsi, I Martinez, Balde; Casado, Torre, Pedri; Lamal, Lewandowski, Raphinha
Young Boys:
Van Ballmoos; Athekame, Camara, Zoukrou, Hadjam; Niasse, Lauper; Monteiro, Ugrinic, Colley; Ganvoula
Latest football commentary Barcelona vs Young Boys
Barcelona started the 2024-25 La Liga season with seven straight wins, but that run came to an end on Saturday when they lost 4-2 to Osasuna. It was Hansi Flick's second defeat under the management of the club, after they were also beaten 2-1 by Monaco in their Champions League opener, where Eric Garcia was sent off in the first half.
The pressure is on Barcelona to bounce back, but a serious injury crisis has left the team without several key players. Despite this, Flick deserves plenty of credit for his start.
Barcelona reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League last season, but have been eliminated in the group stage in both 2021-22 and 2022-23. The Catalans have not reached the semi-finals of the European Cup since 2018-19, with their last success coming in 2014-15.
Meanwhile, Swiss champions Young Boys, who lost 0-3 in their opening game against Aston Villa and also recently lost 0-1 to Grasshoppers, are now 11th in the domestic standings with just six points from eight games.
Young Boys have never made it past the Champions League group stage and will face a tough challenge in this game, especially as they host Inter Milan next. However, they may be motivated by Barcelona's injury problems, especially after two wins over Galatasaray in the playoffs. However, it is difficult to predict a positive result for Young Boys against a stronger Barcelona on Tuesday night.
