Team News & Injuries

Barcelona

Barcelona have a few injury and availability issues going into the match. Here are some of the key points:

  • Lamine Yamal is ruled out with discomfort in the pubic area. He did not train, and his absence is confirmed by the coach.
  • Alejandro Balde is out with a hamstring injury.
  • Gavi is still struggling with a knee issue. There’s hope he might return, but his availability is uncertain.
  • Frenkie de Jong is unavailable due to injury.
  • Marc-André ter Stegen is out (back injury).
  • A positive note: Marc Bernal has been medically cleared to return after a long period out (ACL injury), though he is unlikely to start immediately and will be eased in.

Valencia

Valencia are in somewhat better shape in terms of injuries, with fewer confirmed absences:

  • One confirmed absentee is Eray Cömert.
  • No major new injury concerns have been widely reported for Valencia ahead of this match. Corberán seems to have most of the squad available.

 

Live Stream & Viewing Info

  • Viewers outside Spain will need to check local La Liga broadcast rights. Many countries have official streaming platforms or sports channels that carry La Liga matches (e.g. beIN, ESPN, DAZN, or locally licensed broadcasters).
  • In India, there will be info via platforms that typically carry La Liga; articles mention “how to watch live in India.”
  • Because Barcelona are playing at Estadi Johan Cruyff, special arrangements have been made (VAR cameras, technical infrastructure) to meet La Liga requirements. So the match should be fully broadcast/streamed as usual.
