How Barcelona can lineup with Frenkie De Jong and Ansu Fati back from injury

Multiple credible sources in Spain are claiming that Ansu Fati and Frenkie De Jong are likely to return to full fitness after the international break.

Barcelona have missed the two experienced players although Hansi Flick’s team have not dropped any points in their first four games to start the season.

However, with Ansu and De Jong returning to the team, Flick will have more depth in his attack and midfield.

The German coach could easily replace Marc Casado with De Jong in that midfield.

Meanwhile, reports say Flick is planning to use Ansu in a number 9 position. This makes sense as the young Spaniard could help Barca rotate Robert Lewandowski and give him rest considering he’s now 36 years old.

Here’s a Barca lineup that accommodates both Ansu and De Jong.
