Barcelona returns from the international break with its eyes set on maintaining its advantage atop the standings in La Liga, with a home game against Sevilla on Sunday, Oct. 20.
It's a mighty seven day stretch for Hansi Flick's team. Sevilla visits Barcelona to resume league action before Los Culés welcome Bayern Munich in the Champions League on Oct. 23 and then travel to Madrid for El Clásico against Real Madrid on Oct. 26.
There were some scares during the international break for the Catalans with both Robert Lewandowski and Lamine Yamal returning to Barcelona with fitness concerns. Both players seem to have avoided serious injuries; however, Flick might err on the side of caution considering the upcoming busy schedule.
It's not all bad news for the Blaugranas. Gavi, Fermin López and Dani Olmo all returned to training and could see minutes in the game against Sevilla, though it would seem wise for Flick to ease them back to action.
