Barcelona manager Hansi Flick is contemplating significant squad rotation for the upcoming La Liga match against Alaves on Thursday, with an eye on the subsequent fixtures against Aston Villa and Atletico Madrid.
According to reports from Barca Universal, Flick may make wholesale changes across multiple positions to manage player workload ahead of a demanding schedule that includes a Champions League encounter with Aston Villa and a crucial league clash against Atletico Madrid.
The Catalan side faces Alaves at home before traveling to face Aston Villa in European competition, followed by a high-stakes Madrid derby against Atletico. Flick's rotation strategy aims to keep key players fresh for the more challenging fixtures.
