Barcelona prepares for their La Liga match against Elche with key player returns and ongoing injury concerns. Coach Hans Flick announced the return of stars Robert Lewandowski and Dani Olmo after recovery from muscular injuries, although they are expected to start on the bench. The team faces significant absences, including Pedri due to injury, which impacts their midfield control. The squad also includes young players like Yamal, who is recovering from minor ailments. Barcelona aims to extend their scoring streak to 50 consecutive matches, a record last broken in December of the previous year. However, defensive vulnerabilities persist, with the team conceding goals in 8 consecutive matches, a trend reminiscent of former coach Ronald Koeman's era. The coach emphasized the team's need to focus on their game plan against Elche, who play attractively under their current coach. Meanwhile, there is concern about the team's potential falling into the 'Koeman trap,' reflecting fears of underperformance or tactical issues. The match is crucial for Barcelona to close the gap with Real Madrid and maintain their competitive edge in La Liga.
