Barcelona team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Eintracht Frankfurt

By Ben Knapton, Senior Reporter | 11 April 2022

Sports Mole rounds up Barcelona's injury and suspension news ahead of Thursday's Europa League quarter-final second leg with Eintracht Frankfurt.

Barcelona will aim to advance to the semi-finals of the Europa League when Eintracht Frankfurt visit Camp Nou for the second leg of their quarter-final tie on Thursday evening.

Xavi's side were forced to settle for a 1-1 draw in the first leg at the Deutsche Bank Park, as Ansgar Knauff struck a sublime opener before Ferran Torres's equaliser.

The Catalans were also forced to do it the hard way against Levante in the weekend's La Liga battle, but a stoppage-time winner from Luuk de Jong propelled them to all three points in a 3-2 success.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of the team's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the second leg.

Gerard Pique

Status: Major doubt
Type of injury: Groin
Possible return date: April 14 (vs. Frankfurt)

Gerard Pique lasted just 22 minutes of last week's first leg before being taken off with an adductor issue, and while Xavi has described the problem as discomfort rather than an injury, he is still a major doubt for Thursday's game.

Ansu Fati

Status: Out
Type of injury: Hamstring
Possible return date: Unknown

Ansu Fati is back training with his teammates after his serious hamstring problem, but Xavi has claimed that the teenager may still need a few more sessions to get up to speed, so the second leg will likely come too soon for him.

Sergi Roberto

Status: Out
Type of injury: Thigh
Possible return date: Unknown

Sergi Roberto is making great strides in his recovery from thigh surgery, but he has not made the squad for this game.

Samuel Umtiti

Status: Out
Type of injury: Foot
Possible return date: Unknown

Samuel Umtiti remains on the sidelines after undergoing foot surgery, and the French defender will not be considered for selection just yet.

Sergino Dest

Status: Major doubt
Type of injury: Hamstring
Possible return date: April 14 (vs. Frankfurt)

Sergino Dest sustained a hamstring issue in the previous Europa League round against Galatasaray, but there is a chance he could be available for the second leg.

Memphis Depay

Status: Major doubt
Type of injury: Hamstring
Possible return date: April 14 (vs. Frankfurt)

Likewise, Memphis Depay missed the first leg against Frankfurt and the win over Levante due to a hamstring issue of his own, but the Dutchman could force his way into contention for Thursday.
