Marc-Andre Ter Stegen - Stretched off Ter Stegen was seen leaving the match in an ambulance after he was forced off in the 48th minute with an apparent back injury.

Impact Ter Stegen landed on his back awkwardly and was forced to be stretched off and taken to the hospital Sunday. This is cause for concern for the keeper, which is not likely to return for Wednesday's clash with Getafe. He had only allowed five goals in six appearances in league play, making 11 saves with a clean sheet. Inaki Pena is set to take over the net for the time being until Ter Stegen is back.

Marc Casado - Assist during UCL game Casado logged one assist on his lone chance created across Barcelona's 2-1 loss Thursday at Monaco. He also received a yellow card during the game's 85th minute.

Lamine Yamal - Historic goal Thursday Yamal scored one goal on two shots (one on goal) during Barcelona's 2-1 loss Thursday at Monaco.

Impact At 17 years and 68 days of age, Yamal is the second-youngest goalscorer in UCL history. He entered Thursday having stepped up a notch in La Liga. After his appearance against Monaco, it is looking like Yamal is doing the same for Barcelona internationally.

Marc-Andre Ter Stegen - Six saves, two goals conceded Ter Stegen logged six saves but conceded two goals during Barcelona's 2-1 loss Thursday at Monaco.

Impact Ter Stegen logging six saves may be relatively surprising, considering he never recorded at least five of them more than once his 2023-24 season. However, ter Stegen's six saves were somewhat dampened by multiple goal concessions, something that had not occurred on his part since the 2024-25 La Liga began back in August.

Eric Garcia - Sent off early Thursday Garcia was sent off with a straight red card in the 10th minute of Thursday's match against Monaco.

Impact Garcia got his first start of the season playing out of position, and it's safe to say it didn't go as planned. The central defender will now miss the UCL match against Young Boys on Oct. 1, though Barcelona will hope to have a bit more depth in midfield for that match.

Ansu Fati - Option off bench Fati (foot) is on the bench for Thursday's clash with Monaco.

Impact Fati was called up for Thursday's match after returning to training earlier in the week. The forward was never expected to compete for a spot in the starting XI, and is now on the bench. It's unclear what role he will play as minutes might be hard to come by behind Raphinha and Lamine Yamal.

Impact Garcia was not only called up for Thursday's game, but he'll also start, though it remains to be seen if he'll play as a third center-back or as a defensive midfielder. This will be first start of the 2024/25 campaign across all competitions.

Eric Garcia - Ready to return Garcia (foot) was called up for Thursday's trip to Monaco.

Impact Garcia is dealing with a foot problem but was deemed fit enough for the squad during Thursday's clash with Monaco. Even when fully fit he's unlikely to be more than a depth option on the bench heading into Thursday's clash and beyond.

Ansu Fati - Called up Thursday Fati (foot) was called up for Thursday's trip to Monaco.

Impact Fati has been in training for the last two weeks but hasn't been deemed fit enough to return to the team. He has now passed his fitness tests and was included in the Champions League squad. He likely won't be given a starting role but he should be an option off the bench moving forward.
