Barça will lose more players during the next national team break

The FC Barcelona squad will again lose most of its players next week due to the double FIFA appointment that will take place between October 10th and 15th. In September, Hansi Flick loaned out nine players named by his national teamsa number that will almost certainly rise this month as a certain culé footballer returns to his country’s squad.

This is the case of Iñigo Martínezwho, thanks to his excellent start to the season at Barça, points to the call-up of Luis de la Fuente. The Basque is an integral part of the Barça coach’s team and has so far scored 1 goal and 1 assist in 9 games (795 minutes). In addition to Ondarroa, the La Roja coach could mention Pau Cubarsí, who traveled with the U-21s last month along with Pablo Torre (who was called up in place of the injured Fermín López).

Marc-André Ter Stegen, Jules Koundé, Robert Lewandowski and the four named by the Spanish national team (Pedri Gonzalez, Lamine Yamal, Ferrran Torres and Dani Olmo) also traveled with Torre and Cubarsí in September. Olmo and ter Stegen are out due to their physical problems, but there are other Barcelona internationals waiting for the call from their national teams.

Raphinha will also return with Brazil in October

In addition to Iñigo Martínez, Barça is also preparing to lose Raphinha next week. The winger did not travel with the “scratch” in September as he was suspended for the duel against Ecuadorbut he will do so for the double matchday against Chile and Peru, where the “Verdeamarela” must add the 6 points to rise in the ranking of the South American World Cup qualifiers.

Another who could potentially return to his national team for the FIFA doubleheader in October is Frenkie de Jong. The midfielder missed the European Championships due to injury and will be available for the Nations League games against Hungary and Germany if Ronald Koeman decides to call him up. The former Barça coach criticized the Barça team for how they handled the physical problem with Frenkie last season and it is likely that he would prefer not to mention him as he will hardly have any minutes until the break. The “21” played a quarter of an hour against the Young Boys on Tuesday and Hansi Flick will gradually lead him back to his best form.
