Barcelona are preparing for their first encounter with Belgian side Club Brugge since 2002, having recovered from their El Clásico defeat with a 3–1 win over Elche at the weekend.
Hansi Flick has battled a spate of injuries and the never-ending fiasco of returning to Camp Nou, but Barça could enter the November international break in a decent position should they conclude the week with two victories.
They’re travelling to Bruges in Gameweek 4 of their Champions League campaign, having won two of their three games so far. Defeat to Paris Saint-Germain leaves them on the outside looking in regarding a top-eight spot, but a rather kind conclusion to their league phase schedule means Barça will fancy their chances of enjoying a strong finish.
There’s been no change on the injury front from Sunday’s win, with Flick naming a 22-man squad for Wednesday’s game. Here’s how Barça could line up at the Jan Breydelstadion.
