Raphinha's absence opens doors for Jesus and Abdelkarim against Getafe

Ahead of Saturday's match against Getafe, Barcelona may adjust their attacking lineup due to Raphinha's potential rest. After returning from international duty with a minor muscle issue, Raphinha's availability is uncertain, prompting coach Hansi Flick to consider Gabriel Jesus and Hamza Abdelkarim as starting options. Jesus, who has scored twice already this season, is seen as a key alternative, having worked on his fitness during the international break. Abdelkarim also provides another option following his contract renewal and recent scoring for Egypt.
