One thing Barcelona has improved on this season is the options the club has on the bench despite being slim.
Many players are performing at a high level, and picking the starting XI for any game might be a hurdle for the head coach, especially when he intends to rotate the squad.
In light of this, Hansi Flick decided to leave Ansi Fati, Pablo Torre, and Christensen from the squad list.
Ansu, Torre, Christensen to Miss Atlético Madrid Clash
Barcelona is preparing for an important match with Atlético Madrid later today, and three players were reported to have not made the squad list.
Hansi Flick has been making a statement about Ansu Fati over the past few months, with his almost consistent removal from the team squad list.
This time, it is nothing so surprising as team number 10 was once again left out by the manager in an important clash.
The most surprising names on the report was Pablo Torre. Hansi Flick had talked on occasion about the essence of Torre in the team. However, the player is still to receive the minutes he desired, and an exit in the summer might not be far from considered.
The last name was also not a surprise to the fans, and they are almost used to not considering the player amongst the squad basically due to the lengthy injury crisis he has faced this season.
The Danish defender, Andreas Christensen, might appear to have played his last game for the Catalan side last year and might not feature for them again beyond the season with the report of the potential signing of free agent Jonathan Tah, which could see one or two defenders leave the club.
