From the source
Barcelona is set to host Aston Villa in their next UEFA Champions League fixture on Tuesday as Hansi Flick’s men look to bounce back in Europe after their first group stage loss in their last UCL match.
Barcelona enters the match navigating a severe defensive crisis that has heavily depleted Hansi Flick’s squad selection options at the back. The Catalan side will be completely without Andreas Christensen and Eric García due to thigh injuries, while Jules Koundé and young full-back Xavi Espart are both officially ruled out with ankle problems.
Further forward, attacking midfielder Dani Olmo remains sidelined with an adductor issue, and Roony Bardghji continues his long-term recovery from an ACL tear. Aston Villa travels to Spain in remarkable European form but must also work around several key absences in midfield and defence.
