Barcelona injury news for Girona clash: Gavi, Ansu Fati updates

Sports Mole rounds up Barcelona's injury and suspension news ahead of Sunday's La Liga clash with Girona.

Barcelona will attempt to maintain their perfect start to Hansi Flick's tenure when they face fellow Catalan side Girona in Sunday's La Liga contest.

The Blaugrana began their campaign with three consecutive 2-1 victories over Valencia, Athletic Club and Rayo Vallecano.

Flick's side then made a real statement in their most recent outing as they produced a free-scoring display to record a dominant 4-0 win over Real Valladolid to establish a four-point gap at the top of the table.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Barcelona's injury and suspension news ahead of Sunday's meeting with Girona, who have claimed back-to-back wins over Osasuna and Sevilla.


Ansu Fati

Fati has been making good progress in his recovery from a foot injury that he sustained in late July. Although Fati is seemingly in contention to feature in Sunday's matchday squad, Barcelona may decide to adopt a cautious approach and put off his comeback until at least Thursday's Champions League meeting with Monaco.


Gavi
