AS reported that Barcelona announced the Champions League squad for the match against Olympiacos, and Ferran Torres was unexpectedly selected.
Although all previous signs indicated that Ferran Torres would not be able to return in time for Tuesday's game, the forward was unexpectedly selected in the squad for the Champions League match against Olympiacos announced at noon today. However, although Phelan has recovered and been cleared to play, he is not expected to start, but will start from the bench.
Phelan suffered a thigh muscle injury during his time with the national team, which was initially considered not serious, but ultimately caused him to miss the game against Girona, and was once considered to also miss the game against Olympiacos. In fact, at the press conference, Flick almost ruled out the possibility of Phelan playing, and even said that he would undergo an MRI on Thursday to evaluate his status. Regardless, this is good news for the German coach as he has one more attacking player available.
Christensen failed to recover in time and did not participate in Monday's training due to physical discomfort. The Danish centre-back joins the likes of Rafinha, Garvey, Olmo, Lewandowski, Joan Garcia and Ter Stegen on the injury list.
