With Real Madrid playing Cadiz later tonight the Catalans 13-point advantage atop the standings might be cut to 10 points by the time they take the field against Getafe.
As a result of their accumulation of cards certain Barcelona players are at risk of punishment and should exercise caution going into tomorrows game especially given that Atletico Madrid will be the Catalans opponents following Getafe.
Given that he already has two midfielders on the sidelines in Frenkie de Jong and Pedri it would be a major setback for Xavi. The pair will still be rusty after a lengthy amount of inactivity even if they are back in time to play against the Rojiblancos.
Torres availability is also crucial because Ousmane Dembele isn’t anticipated to return until the match against Rayo Vallecano in the final week of April.

BARCELONA VERY FOND OF LIVERPOOL MIDFIELD TARGET; TRANSFER FEES A PROBLEM – REPORT
Barcelona appears to have discovered Wolverhampton Wanderers midfielder Matheus Nunes as they continue their quest in the trade market. According to Matteo Moretto they think extremely highly of him and adore the player.
Several elite clubs have taken notice of Nunes after his arrival in the Premier League in the summer of 2022. According to rumors Liverpool is reportedly planning a summer move and is very interested in his services.
Given how many midfielders Barcelona currently has on the roster their interest in Nunes is particularly intriguing. As the starting defensive midfielder Sergio Busquets competes with Pedri Gavi and Frenkie de Jong for two positions in the midfield three.
Ilkay Gundogan who will be a free agent in the summer is allegedly in advanced negotiations with Barcelona as well. Although the transfer has not yet been finalized the German might sign a two-plus-one-year contract with Barça.
LIONEL MESSI DREAMS OF RETURNING TO BARCELONA AND THE TEAM TRIES EVERYTHING
The Argentine who abruptly left the club two years ago appears to have reached the end of his tenure at PSG and is planning to make one more trip to the Catalan city.
According to a Relevo story Messi is also hoping to return to Barcelona and the team is doing everything they can to make it happen.
However Xavi has subsequently refuted these rumors. The manager stated “The most important thing for me is Busquets composure and that he helps us during the rest of the matches” prior to todays meeting between Getafe and Barcelona. His choice in my opinion is not influenced by Messi’s presence.
Due to the clubs financial position the player will undoubtedly fetch a significantly smaller pay than he does at PSG but he wants to return to the team at “all costs.”
