Barcelona without Pedri and Dembélé for Man United game

Barcelona will be without some of its regular starters for the return match against Manchester United in the Europa League

FEBRUARY 22, 2023 • Associated Press

Ferran Torres - Creates five chances against Cadiz Torres took three shots and created five chances in Sunday's 2-0 victory against Cadiz. He also won one of two tackles in the match.

Impact Torres put in one of his best performances of the season on Sunday, with his best moment coming as he dribbled past three Cadiz defenders and crossed to Robert Lewandowski, with Sergi Roberto pouncing on the ensuing rebounded shot to open the scoring. Torres has mostly been a backup option on the right wing this season as this was his first start in La Liga since before the World Cup, but he may take on a more consistent role in the XI while Pedri (thigh) and Ousmane Dembele (quadriceps) are injured.

Ansu Fati - Takes two shots in start Fati took two shots and created a chance in Sunday's 2-0 victory against Cadiz. He also won one of one tackles in the match.

Impact Fati is averaging 4.1 shots (one on target) per 90 minutes in La Liga this season, but he hasn't scored since October. He's been a solid backup option behind Robert Lewandowski, Ousmane Dembele (quadriceps), Raphinha, Ferran Torres and Gavi all across the forward line this season, but Fati still doesn't seem to have recaptured his best form since returning from his initial meniscus tear in November 2020.

FEBRUARY 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Eric Garcia - Makes nine clearances in win Garcia made a block, nine clearances and two interceptions in Sunday's 2-0 victory against Cadiz. He also took a shot in the match.

Impact Garcia made just his second La Liga start since the turn of the calendar year on Sunday, but he was solid in central defense while Ronald Araujo was out with a yellow card suspension. He should return to being a backup option behind Araujo and Andreas Christensen moving forward.

FEBRUARY 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Ronald Araujo - Suspension served Araujo served a one-match ban for yellow card accumulation and is now eligible to return.

Impact Araujo was suspended for a Sunday clash with Cadiz but is now eligible to return. The defender figures to start for a Thursday trip to Manchester as well as a Sunday clash with Almeria.

Marc-Andre Ter Stegen - Keeps clean sheet against Cadiz Ter Stegen made four saves and kept a clean sheet in Sunday's 2-0 victory against Cadiz.

Impact Barcelona's domestic defense has been quite astounding this season, as they've conceded just seven goals in 22 games. Ter Stegen's 17 clean sheets are more than double his next closest challenger in La Liga (a five-way tie on eight clean sheets) and he's prevented 4.9 more goals than the average keeper would have been expected to save according to FBref.com. Next up is Thursday's Europa League Round of 32 second leg against Manchester United before a league clash with 16th-placed Almeria, which have scored 27 goals in 22 matches this season.

FEBRUARY 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sergi Roberto - Scores goal, assist against Cadiz Roberto scored a goal and recorded an assist in Sunday's 2-0 victory against Cadiz. He also won three of four tackles in the match, and he took three shots (two on target) overall.

Impact Roberto started in midfield Sunday for the first time this season, and he was the difference-maker against Cadiz as he pounced on a rebounded shot to slot home the opener and then set up a strike for Robert Lewandowski just a few minutes later. He should return to the bench once Sergio Busquets (ankle) is fit enough to start again, but Roberto is a very handy and versatile squad option for Barcelona.

FEBRUARY 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Robert Lewandowski - Scores goal against Cadiz Lewandowski took three shots (two on target) and scored a goal in Sunday's 2-0 victory against Cadiz. He also made a clearance in the match.

Impact Lewandowski had been in a bit of a slump in February -- despite tallying a goal and an assist from 15 shots (eight on target) and four chances created in four matches across all competitions prior to Sunday -- but he ended his relative scoring drought just before halftime against Cadiz. He's the top scorer in La Liga with 15 goals this season, four ahead of Joselu and Karim Benzema in second place.
