FC Barcelona are set to conclude the League Phase of the UEFA Champions League tonight as they face an exciting Atalanta side at the Montjuic. The Blaugranes will be looking to get a win in this game to end this phase on a strong footing, but the Italians will also be committed to getting a win to ensure their direct advancement to the Round of 16.
Although the Catalans have already guaranteed their direct qualification to the next round, Hansi Flick will still be looking to field a strong side in this game.
Barcelona have already announced the squad for this game, and there are five players still unavailable for Flick. The most notable of these players are Dani Olmo, who continues to recover from his physical problems, and Andreas Christensen, who is once again unavailable after having suffered another injury which will keep him out of action for three weeks.
Inigo Martinez is also still recovering from his injury, and thus accompanies the long-term absentees, Marc Andre Ter Stegen and Marc Bernal in the infirmary.
Ansu Fati has been a part of this list, after missing out on several lists some weeks ago. He might get some minutes to play in this game keeping in consideration the low stakes involved for the Blaugrana side.
