Barcelona is suffering from a new injury crisis ahead of the match against Valencia on September 14 in La Liga, as it has been confirmed that both Alejandro Balde and Gavi will be absent, while the coaching staff is monitoring the physical condition of Frenkie de Jong and Lamine Yamal.

Coach Hans Flick will not be able to rely on Balde, who is suffering from a muscle injury in the left hamstring, as well as Gavi, who sustained a bruise on the knee during training with the team.

On the other hand, Frenkie de Jong left the Netherlands national team camp after participating in his country's match against Poland due to feeling discomfort in his hip muscle, and the Dutch medical staff classified his injury as minor, but he will not participate in the upcoming match against Lithuania.

As for Lamine Yamal, he complained of mild back pain during the morning training session with the Spanish national team, a pain he had started experiencing since the match between Barcelona and Rayo Vallecano, and coach Luis de la Fuente preferred to rest him in the final minutes of the match against Bulgaria after being reassured about the match result.

The upcoming match against Valencia at Johan Cruyff Stadium is set to be the first test on Barcelona's home ground in the new season, amid significant challenges for Flick due to the increasing absences.
