Barcelona sustained a blow by witnessing Pau Cubarsi sustain an ankle injury in the Netherlands 2-2 draw against Spain in the first leg of their UEFA Nations League quarterfinals.
As per Sport, the club are still not aware of whether the Spaniard will be fully fit for their next La Liga game against Osasuna.
Barca could already be without Ronald Araujo, who might miss the game because of international commitments. Inigo Martinez is injured.
As a result, Hansi Flick might be forced to play Gerard Martin in a makeshift centre-back role against Osasuna, potentially alongside Eric Garcia.
Martin has made 26 appearances for Barca so far this season, scoring one goal and providing two assists.
