Nico Gonzalez - Option for Wednesday Gonzalez (thigh) is an option for Wednesday's match against Galatasaray, according to Isaac Suarez of Marca.

Impact Gonzalez has been training for around a week, and after a boost of fitness ahead of Wednesday's match, he has been added to the squad list. This is positive as the club regains some options, with the Argentine typically a starter when fit. They may be cautious and ease him in off the bench, starting in 16 of his 20 appearances between UCL and league play, although he only has one goal to his name.

Lenglet hasn't played since mid-December, but when healthy, he's been a regular starter. He's started in his nine outings between LaLiga and the UEFA Champions League in 2025/26.

With significant time on the pitch, he may be expected to rack up passes and other possession-related stats. Both Johnny Cardoso and Conor Gallagher will see their involvement reduced with Barrios available.
