Without coach or references: How many casualties will Barcelona have due to injury in the Champions League?

For the fourth date of the Champions League group stage, Barcelona will visit Kiev to face Dinamo in a game that they need to win to continue with the chance to qualify for the last 16. For the match, those of Sergi Barjuan, have several casualties that weaken the need for the team to achieve victory.

FC Barcelona is third in Group E of the Champions League and for the moment they would not be qualifying for the eighth. After starting with two 3-0 losses against Bayern and Benfica, Barcelona achieved a minimal victory against Dynamo Kiev that is not enough. This is why on Tuesday in Kiev it is necessary for the team to return to victory.

For the game, Barcelona has a large queue of players in the infirmary. Ten soldiers culé are those that will not be able to be of the game. In defense the injured are Ronald Araujo and Gerard Piqué, the Spanish central requested the change against Alavés at minute 70 and the club reported hours later in a medical statement that he suffers an elongation in the soleus of the right leg.

In the middle zone is where the team is most affected by injuries. Pedri has been out for the entire month of October, while Frenkie de Jong and Sergi Roberto had been injured the week before. To the sensitive casualties in the midfield, yesterday against Alavés was added that of the youth squad Nico Gonzalez, who requested the change in the absence of 10 minutes and Barcelona still cannot confirm his presence in Kiev.

Sergi Barjuan has few options left to build the lead. Added to the injuries of Dembelé, Ansu Fati and Braithwaite is the worrying situation of Sergio Agüero. Kun yesterday against Alavés was replaced during the first half by Coutinho. The Argentine alarmed everyone present by expressing a slight shortness of breath and showing somewhat dazed, after the studies carried out on the striker it was confirmed that he suffered a cardiac arrhythmia.
