Barcelona manager Hansi Flick has probably already set a plan to face Atletico Madrid on Saturday night. However, if it is included Hector Fortwill have to think again.
The 18-year-old defender missed Barcelona's last training session before the big game on Friday, due to muscle discomfort. Sport say that it is unlikely to be in his team for the game as a result.

Ansu Fati and Andreas Christensen trained without problems, the former returning from a hamstring problem, and the latter recovering from an Achilles tendon problem. Fati will be in the squad tomorrow, but Christensen is likely to be kept out longer to facilitate a full recovery.
Barcelona they are moving towards a fully fit team now under Hansi Flick for the first time, but the other two absences they have are costly. Captain Marc-Andre ter Stegen is out for most of the season, and Lamine Yamal won't be back for several weeks.
