Hansi Flick plans five squad changes for Barcelona against Levante

Barcelona coach Hansi Flick expects to implement five changes to his starting lineup for this afternoon’s match against Levante. The team enters the fixture undefeated in all competitions this season, having scored 22 goals across five matches. Following a mid-week Champions League outing against Feyenoord, rotation is planned to manage player workload. Eric Garcia is set to return at right-back after serving a suspension, while Xavi Espart is expected to replace Joao Cancelo at left-back. Gerard Martin may also enter the defense for Andreas Christensen. Further changes include Fermin Lopez starting in midfield and Anthony Gordon entering the attack alongside Raphinha and Lamine Yamal. These adjustments aim to balance the side's current scoring momentum with the physical demands of the early season schedule.
