Espanyol
- Hansi Flick will be without several of their regulars. Ter Stegen, Araujo, Ferran Torres, Christensen and Bernal are still out of the squad, while Eric García is a doubt due to physical discomfort.
- While the backline and forward positions are expected to remain unchanged, the midfield presents a competitive scenario.
- Pedri appears a certain starter, while the emergence of Marc Casado and the impactful presence of Frenkie de Jong provide Flick with selection dilemmas, with Dani Olmo as a viable alternative should tactical adjustments be necessary.
- Manolo González's blue and white team will arrive at the Estadi Olímpic with the confirmed absence of Pol Lozano, who suffered a hamstring injury during the cup match against San Tirso.
- The presence of Calero and Expósito is not assured, although there is more optimism with the recovery of Gragera and Jofre.
