The Spanish newspaper 'Mundo Deportivo' reported that FC Barcelona is under significant pressure ahead of their match against Elche in the 11th round of La Liga, following their defeat to Real Madrid in the Clasico and the injury to their star Pedri, which will keep him out for several weeks.

The report clarified that German coach Hans Flick is seeking to restore balance to the team and regain strong performance before the upcoming international break, emphasizing that there is no room for excuses despite the numerous injuries the team has been suffering since the start of the season.

Barcelona is expected to regain the services of Robert Lewandowski and Dani Olmo during the match, although their inclusion as starters has not yet been confirmed. The newspaper noted that the Catalan team cannot afford any new setbacks if they wish to stay close to the league leaders, Real Madrid.

The newspaper also highlighted the situation of Lamine Yamal, who is experiencing a dip in form following the Clasico, confirming that the next three matches against Elche, Club Brugge in the Champions League, and then Celta Vigo represent an ideal opportunity for him to regain his sparkle.

The report stated that Flick is required to improve the team's performance in several aspects, most notably offensive pressure, reducing ball loss, increasing effectiveness from the flanks, and enhancing defensive solidity, especially after Barcelona conceded goals in seven consecutive matches.
