Flick to watch England vs Spain live with a large number of Barcelona players set to be involved According to MARCA , FC Barcelona manager Hansi Flick gave his players time off from yesterday, Friday, after they completed a gym session at the Ciutat Esportiva , until Monday 5 October. The German tactician, however, is not taking a break. He plans to watch tonight’s UEFA Nations League match between England and Spain live at Wembley. Seven players with Spain, one with England After all, there are eight Barça players called up for the international fixture across both teams, representing around a third of Flick’s squad. England will host the 2026 World Cup winners today at 20:45 at Wembley in the opening round of the UEFA Nations League group stage.

As such, Flick will be in the stands at the famous stadium in London as he wants to enjoy an important match, but also watch his players in person during the international fixture. Risk of injuries As per the report, Barcelona are proud of their international players, but there is also some concern about the risk of injuries. After all, the Catalans have 17 players away with their respective national teams. Alongside the Spanish players with the senior side and Xavi Espart and Marc Bernal, are with the Spain U21s. Other players called up include Gordon with England, Karim Adeyemi with Germany, Raphinha with Brazil, Joao Cancelo with Portugal, Jules Kounde with France, Dominik Livakovic with Croatia, Hamza Abdelkarim with Egypt and Jesse Bisiwu with Belgium Under-21s. As reported previously, Raphinha is a particular concern, not only because he has been one of the team’s most in-form players and has suffered injuries on previous international breaks, but also because of the amount of travelling involved. Raphinha has a long trip with Brazil.

Many minutes for Barça internationals Most of Barça’s internationals have played important roles for their national teams. Kounde played the full 90 minutes in France’s 1-0 victory over Turkey, as did Raphinha with Brazil. Bernal also participated in the entire match in Spain U21 team’sr 2-1 defeat against Finland. Xavi Espart, by contrast, was substituted after playing only the first half. Cancelo started for Portugal against Wales before being replaced in the final stages, while Adeyemi played 80 minutes in Germany’s 1-1 draw with the Netherlands. Abdelkarim came on for 28 minutes for Egypt in their 0-0 draw with Angola. With the international break continuing, Flick will be keeping a close eye on his players before they return to Barcelona and resume preparations for the club’s next fixtures.
