Impact De Jong looks to be back on the injury report, with the midfielder heading back to Barcelona for medical reasons. This could be a cautious move for the player after just returning from an injury and with the Netherlands already qualified for the Nations League quarterfinals, although this is unconfirmed. Either way, the club will hope to have him as an option to face Celta Vigo on Saturday, as he was just starting to earn his starting role back.

Ansu Fati - Out for one month Fati suffered a hamstring injury during training Wednesday and is set to miss the next four weeks.
Impact Fati continues to drop in the depth chart for Barcelona, resulting in just one start in four La Liga appearances. Now that he will sit out the next month with a hamstring injury, the forward will have to work twice as hard to try to work up the depth chart, though seems unlikely with Raphinha and Lamime Yamal's stellar seasons so far.

Robert Lewandowski - Unusually quiet Lewandowski (back) generated three clearances in Sunday's 1-0 loss against Real Sociedad.
Impact It was a surprisingly disappointing performance from Lewandowski in Barcelona's 1-0 loss to Real Sociedad. Even though the Polish striker leads La Liga in scoring with 14 goals (six more than the next closest player), he failed to register a shot in the match, created zero chances, and only had three touches in Sociedad's box. Lewandowski will hope to return to form after the international break when Barcelona battle Celta Vigo.
NOVEMBER 12 • ROTOWIRE
Alejandro Balde - Causes havoc down left flank Alex Balde recorded five crosses (zero accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 1-0 loss against Real Sociedad.
Impact Balde was an unlikely source of offensive potential in their loss to Real Sociedad. He created one chance and completed five out of his eight dribbles. He also won ten out of his 14 duels in the match. Balde has played the full 90 minutes for Barcelona in four out of their last five matches, and will most likely continue to do so when they take on Celta Vigo after the international break.
NOVEMBER 12 • ROTOWIRE
Pau Cubarsi - Misses two chances Pau Cubarsi had two shots (zero on goal) and one chance created in Sunday's 1-0 loss versus Real Sociedad.
Impact Cubarsi had two great chances to grab an equalizer for Barcelona on Sunday, but failed to capitalize on either. However, even with the missed chances, the 17-year-old put in a solid 90 minute shift. He created one chance, won eight of his 11 duels, and made seven passes into the final third. Cubarsi has played the full 90 minutes in four out of Barcelona's last five games, and will most likely continue to be in the lineup when Barcelona go up against Celta Vigo on Saturday, November 24.
NOVEMBER 12 • ROTOWIRE
Inaki Pena - Stellar performance not enough Pena had five saves and allowed one goal in Sunday's 1-0 loss against Real Sociedad.
Impact Even though he conceded the goal that would be the winner for Real Sociedad, Pena put in a solid display between the posts for Barcelona on Sunday. He faced six shots on target and managed to save five of them, three of them coming from inside the box. He also was able to complete 59 of his 67 passes. Pena will hope to put in another solid shift when Barcelona take on Celta Vigo on the road on Saturday, November 23.

Impact The veteran striker won't play with Poland during the November international break, but he might recover in time to face Celta Vigo once the league resumes its campaign on Nov. 23. Lewandowski has been massive for Barca this season, tallying 14 goals and two assists in 13 Liga outings.

Lamine Yamal - Diagnosed with ankle injury Yamal has been diagnosed with a right ankle sprain and won't play with Spain during the November international break, his club announced Monday.
Impact Yamal missed the 1-0 loss to Real Sociedad on Sunday -- his first absence of the 2024/25 campaign -- and now the tests have confirmed the injury, meaning he won't play for Spain during the upcoming international break. The estimated recovery time is nearly 10 days, which means Yamal could have a shot to play against Celta Vigo on Nov. 23 once the LaLiga season resumes following the break.
