Hansi Flick will be able to count on the important returns of Robert Lewandowski and Dani Olmo for the reception of Elche this Sunday at the Montjuïc stadium, during the 11th day of LaLiga. Both players overcame their respective injuries: the Polish striker is returning from a ruptured biceps femoris and the Spanish attacking midfielder from a muscle injury to the soleus of his left leg. Both appear in the list of summons published by the German coach this afternoon.
Despite these returns, the Catalan club remains significantly reduced, with several absent for medical reasons: Ter Stegen, Joan García, Gavi, Raphinha, Christensen and especially Pedri, whose time of absence should be counted in weeks due to an injury to the left hamstring contracted during the Clásico. Flick will therefore have to adjust his team, in particular by integrating young people from Barça Atlètic, while the Canary midfielder was the only starting player to have started all the matches until then.
