From the source

Injuries and physical problems are once again proving to be a scourge for FC Barcelona at the start of this 2026-27 season. The Blaugranes have seen several of their important players miss game time due to injuries, including the likes of Raphinha, Dani Olmo, Jules Kounde, and Eric Garcia, etc.

In fact, several of these players remained absent for the team’s last game against Aston Villa in the UEFA Champions League, including Eric Garcia, Jules Kounde, Dani Olmo, Andreas Christensen, and Roony Bardghji.

The last win against Aston Villa only increased the team’s worries on this front. The midfielder Rodri suffered a discomfort in his thigh and was unable to play in the second half of that game.
