After Two Losses, Barca Eyes Redemption vs. Levante
22 Feb
Summary
- Barcelona aims to recover from consecutive defeats against Levante.
- Key players Pedri and Marcus Rashford are nearing return from injury.
- Levante faces significant injury concerns and a relegation threat.
Barcelona urgently needs a victory at home against Levante on Sunday to reignite their La Liga title challenge. The team recently suffered a significant Copa del Rey elimination followed by a controversial league loss to Girona, leaving them trailing Real Madrid. This fixture offers a favorable opportunity to recover, as Levante is currently in poor form and faces potential relegation.
The club is set to welcome back key players Pedri and Marcus Rashford, who have rejoined training after injury spells and could feature in the squad. While Gavi is also progressing in his recovery, his return is anticipated for March. Barcelona will be without Andreas Christensen due to a partial ACL tear.
Levante also faces challenges, with Kervin Arriaga suspended and Pablo Martínez and Roger Brugué sidelined by injury. The team's forward, Etta Eyong, is a noted transfer target for Barcelona. Predictions suggest Barcelona will secure a decisive win, though defensive frailties might prevent a clean sheet.
