Just in: Hansi Flick considering starting struggling attacker vs Mallorca | OneFootball

Barcelona lock horns with Mallorca tonight, in what could be a must-win encounter for the Catalans.

However, with the Copa Del Rey final due on Saturday, Hansi Flick is likely to ring in the changes, as far as the starting eleven is concerned.

Multiple fringe players are indeed poised to receive a call-up to the starting eleven against Mallorca this evening.

Flick considering starting Ansu Fati

According to Diario SPORT, one of the lucky players who could get a nod in the starting eleven tonight could be none other than Ansu Fati.

Indeed, the report suggests Flick is considering starting the Spaniard, who has struggled with injuries and a lack of game time this season.

Although Fati’s early-season injury woes appear to be behind him, the forward has found it difficult to gain game time.

Despite working day in and day out in training, Fati has been constantly ignored by Flick, which has even angered the player at times.

But the upcoming game against Mallorca could be an ideal opportunity for the Barcelona coach to try his luck with Fati.

This could be an excellent opportunity for the struggling forward to finally make an impression and showcase his talents.

As we approach the final stretch of the season, Fati’s return to form could be useful for Barcelona as it would hand Flick additional attacking options at his disposal, at a time when rotation will be key.

That said, it should be noted that this is a must-win game for Barcelona. Fati, therefore, will only have a limited amount of time to impress Flick, who won’t think twice about replacing him should he falter against Mallorca.
