Barcelona are considering options to replace injured midfielder Rodri ahead of their La Liga fixture against Atletico Madrid. The Spanish international was pictured warming up alongside Frenkie de Jong before Barcelona's match against Deportivo Alaves at Spotify Camp Nou on October 31, 2026, but has since been ruled out through injury.
The absence of Rodri leaves a significant gap in Barcelona's midfield for the high-stakes encounter with their title rivals. Managerial staff are evaluating tactical adjustments and squad alternatives to maintain competitive balance for the upcoming match.
