Barcelona's Hansi Flick plans Szczęsny's first start against Sevilla

Summary

Barcelona's head coach Hansi Flick is set to grant Wojciech Szczęsny his first start of the season during their upcoming match against Sevilla. Szczęsny previously made his seasonal debut as a substitute during a game against Racing Santander after Joan García encountered a fitness issue. Following his introduction, Szczęsny conceded a goal in that match, leading to speculation about the possible involvement of summer signing Dominik Livaković. However, reports indicate that Szczęsny will likely shoulder the goalkeeping responsibilities against Sevilla unless García's situation changes.
