Alaves Availability

Alaves have two concerns. F. Garces (Suspension) is sidelined. L. Boye (Muscle Injury) is doubtful. Boye’s absence would be a major blow: he has 11 goals and 1 assist, with 46 shots and 25 key passes, forming a key part of Alaves’ 41-goal league output.

Barcelona Availability

Barcelona travel without three notable names. A. Christensen (Knee Injury) is sidelined. Lamine Yamal (Thigh Injury) is sidelined. Raphinha (Yellow Cards) is sidelined. Lamine Yamal’s unavailability is a major blow: he has produced 16 goals and 11 assists, with 85 shots, 72 key passes and 244 dribble attempts. Raphinha also represents a major blow, contributing 11 goals and 3 assists from midfield.

Impact Summary
