Barcelona head coach Hansi Flick is giving consideration to a major shake-up to his line-up, for the club’s upcoming meeting with Atlético Madrid.
That’s according to Mundo Deportivo, who have on Friday provided an insight into the latest developments behind the scenes in Catalunya’s capital.
Barcelona, of course, are currently in the thick of preparations for one of the club’s most important fixtures of the season to date.
This comes in the form of a top-of-the-table La Liga showdown with the aforementioned Atlético Madrid, on Saturday night.
In the days leading up to the clash, much of the chatter has centered on the personnel plans of Hansi Flick, with Barca set to be without the services of star attacker Lamine Yamal tomorrow evening.
And, if the latest word stemming from the media is anything to go by, then Flick may well make use of the opportunity to ‘revolutionise’ his frontline.
As per a report from Mundo Deportivo, the German tactician is giving serious consideration to setting up as follows: Raphinha on the right wing, Gavi in the attacking midfield role, and Fermín López on the left.
Robert Lewandowski, meanwhile, would maintain his starting berth up top.
Such moves would see Dani Olmo drop out, with Ferran Torres also forced to watch on from the bench, despite his fine recent run of form in front of goal.
