Latest team news for Barcelona vs Young Boys
Barcelona's list of absentees is growing longer, with Eric Garcia added to the list due to suspension after receiving a red card in the Champions League match against Monaco. In addition, seven other players are unavailable due to injury, including Fermin Lopez, Dani Olmo, Marc Bernal, Andreas Christensen, Ronald Araujo, Gavi, and Marc-Andre ter Stegen.
Frenkie de Jong is still sidelined this season due to an ankle problem, but there are hopes he will be included in the squad for this match. There will be some changes to the starting lineup from the La Liga game against Osasuna, with Raphinha, Lamine Yamal, Alejandro Balde, Marc Casado and Inigo Martinez likely to be included.
On the Young Boys side, Saidy Janko, Patric Pfeiffer, and Facinet Conte will be unavailable, but the Swiss side still have a strong squad for this European match. Joel Monteiro has been a standout performer with five goals and seven assists in 13 games, and is certain to be in the starting lineup. Silvere Ganvoula has also scored four goals in the 2024-25 season and could lead the attack, while Cedric Itten may be kept on the bench despite scoring five goals this season.

Latest football match prediction: Barcelona vs Young Boys
Barcelona had started the 2024-25 La Liga season with seven consecutive wins, but that run came to an end on Saturday when they lost 4-2 to Osasuna. This was the second defeat under Hansi Flick, following a 2-1 loss to Monaco in their Champions League opening match, where Eric Garcia received a red card in the first half.
Pressure is mounting on Barcelona to bounce back, but a serious injury crisis has left the team missing many key players. Despite this, Flick deserves credit for his start.
Barcelona reached the Champions League quarter-finals last season, but were eliminated in the group stage in both the 2021-22 and 2022-23 seasons. The Catalan club haven't reached the semi-finals of a European Cup since the 2018-19 season, with their last success coming in 2014-15.
Meanwhile, Young Boys, the Swiss champions, lost 0-3 in their opening match against Aston Villa and recently also lost 0-1 to Grasshoppers, currently sitting 11th in the domestic league table with just six points from eight games.
Young Boys have never progressed beyond the Champions League group stage and will face a significant challenge in this match, especially as they host Inter Milan in the next round. However, they may find some motivation from Barcelona's injury problems, particularly after their two wins against Galatasaray in the playoffs. Nevertheless, it's difficult to predict a positive outcome for Young Boys against a stronger Barcelona side on Tuesday night.
