Barcelona injury list: Players out, potential return dates, predicted lineup for next game vs. Osasuna
Now out of the Champions League, Barcelona have been left to concentrate fully on their La Liga title race, and they are close to the finish line.
The Blaugrana were dumped from European competition by Atletico Madrid in a contentious quarterfinal matchup that saw Hansi Flick’s side come back from a multi-goal deficit only to fall short in the end.
They hold an 11-point lead over Real Madrid at the top of the domestic standings and know that a win at Osasuna this weekend would see them crowned champions should Los Blancos fail to beat Espanyol.
The Sporting News details Barcelona’s injury situation as it stands.

He is expected to recover in time to return for the 2026 FIFA World Cup with Spain this summer, but his fitness will have to be monitored so he does not suffer a recurrence of the muscle injury during what can be a grueling month-long tournament.
Raphinha
- Injury: Hamstring
- Expected return: May 2 (vs. Osasuna)
Raphinha sustained an injury in his right hamstring during France’s 2-1 friendly win over Brazil on March 26. Barca confirmed the next day that the winger is facing five weeks out of action, leaving the game against Osasuna, projected for May 3, as his likely return. He was duly named in the travelling squad.
Marc Bernal
- Injury: Thigh
- Expected return date: May 2 (vs. Osasuna)
Young defensive midfielder Marc Bernal has grown into a starting role over the second half of the campaign, but went down with a hamstring injury in the first leg of the Champions League matchup against Atletico Madrid. He has been sidelined since but is in the group for the Osasuna match.
Andreas Christensen
- Injury: Partial ACL tear (left knee)
- Expected return date: May
The Denmark international picked up a serious knee injury during a training session before a match against Villarreal in late December. While he does not need surgery, it will take some time before he will return. The expectation is that he will be sidelined for four to five months, and may not make it back before the season concludes.
