FC Barcelona Vs. Mallorca Lineup: Three Big Changes For Must-Win

Latest Barcelona vs Mallorca squad information

Barcelona have yet to determine the exact extent of Lewandowski's hamstring injury, but the Polish striker will definitely miss this match and is unlikely to return in time for the Copa del Rey final.

Alejandro Balde, Marc Casado, Marc Bernal and goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen are also sidelined. Flick is expected to make a number of changes to his starting line-up on Tuesday, with Lamine Yamal set to return to the starting line-up.

Ronald Araujo and Gavi could also be recalled to the starting line-up, while Dani Olmo is likely to start from the bench. Ferran Torres is expected to start at centre-forward in place of Lewandowski.

For Mallorca, Manu Morlanes, Vedat Muriqi, Robert Navarro and Takuma Asano are all doubtful. However, the visitors did not record any further injuries after the 0-0 draw with Leganes.

Coach Arrasate could make just one change to the starting line-up from the last game, with Antonio Sanchez likely to replace Abdon Prats in attack.

Mallorca are likely to stick to their familiar 5-3-2 formation, with Dani Rodriguez dropping deep into midfield, while Pablo Maffeo and Johan Mojica continue to occupy the flanks as full-backs.

Latest football commentary Barcelona vs Mallorca

Barcelona had a dramatic game against Celta Vigo on Saturday afternoon, where they were 3-1 down in the second half. However, three goals in quick succession helped the Catalans come back to win 4-3.

The gap could be reduced to four points if Real Madrid beat Athletic Bilbao on Sunday night, but for now Barcelona are still in control of the title race. Their 2024-25 La Liga campaign has been impressive, with 88 goals in 32 games – enough to take them towards the 100-goal mark in the 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 face Inter Milan in the Champions League semi-finals.

However, the Montjuïc team received bad news when main striker Robert Lewandowski suffered a hamstring injury and the return date is unknown. This is a big loss for Hansi Flick at a crucial stage.

As for Mallorca, they were defeated 1-5 by Barcelona in the first leg this season and have not been able to win against the Catalan team in La Liga since May 2009. The last time they won at Barca's stadium was in 2008.

Jagoba Arrasate's side come into this game following a 0-0 draw with Leganes. However, they did record an impressive 2-0 win away to Real Sociedad on 12 April.

Mallorca is currently ranked 7th on the rankings with 44 points after 32 matches (12 wins, 8 draws, 12 losses) - a position that is enough for them to have a ticket to the Europa League group stage next season.

8th place is currently a Europa Conference League play-off spot, so Mallorca have a real chance of qualifying for European competition – a remarkable achievement considering they finished 15th last season.

Mallorca have picked up 20 points from 15 away games this season – not bad. However, they will face Barcelona – the team with the best home record at the temporary stadium in 2024-25.
