Barcelona Faces Valencia Without Key Midfielder Pedri

FC Barcelona is set to face Valencia in a crucial La Liga match, aiming to recover from a series of poor performances that have seen them fail to win in their last four league games. Manager Hansi Flick announced that key midfielder Pedri will miss the match due to gastroenteritis, adding to the team's injury woes. Flick has made several changes to the lineup, with Robert Lewandowski starting on the bench and Ferran Torres taking the role of center-forward. The team will also feature Raphinha and Lamine Yamal in attack. Barcelona is currently seeking to close the gap to the top two teams in the league as they aim for a much-needed victory. The match will take place at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys in Montjuïc.
