Hansi Flick

A Barcelona forward is using the current international break to regain full match fitness and adjust to Hansi Flick's playing style. With no club fixtures for Barcelona during the break, the player is focusing on physical conditioning and tactical adaptation, aiming to return ready to contribute under the new coaching setup when La Liga action resumes.

Reports in Spain say Rodri is not the only factor prompting a young Barcelona player favoured by coach Hansi Flick to consider leaving the club, with increased competition for places at the heart of his doubts. El Nacional reports the midfielder's situation is complicated by the depth of options in his position, raising questions about his future at the Camp Nou.
