In a positive development for Flick, Marcus Rashford is set to return to the team after recovering from his training absence. Rashford has been a valuable asset for Barcelona, scoring six goals and providing nine assists in La Liga and the Champions League.

However, Pedri, who has been out of action since late October, is unlikely to feature in the match against Chelsea. This is a significant concern for Flick, who has had mixed results in European competitions so far.

Barcelona has a history of struggling at Stamford Bridge, with only one win in their previous seven visits. The team will be looking to bounce back from this statistic and secure a vital win against Chelsea.
