Wed Sep 25 06:57:53 UTC 2024: ## FC Barcelona Set for Getafe Clash with Five Changes, Yamal to Start

**Barcelona, Spain -** FC Barcelona manager Hansi Flick has confirmed five changes to his starting lineup for Wednesday’s La Liga match against Getafe. The changes come after a 5-1 victory over Villarreal on Sunday, with several key players returning from rest.

The most notable change sees Inaki Pena replace the injured Marc-Andre ter Stegen in goal. Ter Stegen suffered a serious knee injury in the Villarreal match, forcing him out for the rest of the season. Pena, who has been training hard, is ready for his chance and Flick is confident in his abilities.

Despite the injury, Barcelona remain top of the table, with a one-point lead over Real Madrid. However, Flick has no plans to rest his star winger Lamine Yamal, who has been in exceptional form.

“He doesn’t need to rest. He’s doing very well,” Flick said of the 17-year-old prodigy, adding that he is “the best.”

Other changes to the lineup include Alejandro Balde, Inigo Martinez, and Pau Cubarsi replacing Gerard Martin, Sergi Dominguez, and Pedri on the back line. Marc Casado returns to the midfield alongside Eric Garcia and Pablo Torre.

Raphinha and Yamal will flank Robert Lewandowski in the attack. Lewandowski, who is currently Spain’s top scorer, is looking to continue his impressive form against Getafe.

**The full starting lineup for Barcelona is:**

* **Pena**
* **Balde, Inigo, Cubarsi, Kounde**
* **Eric, Casado, Torre**
* **Raphinha, Lewandowski, Lamine**

Barcelona will be looking to maintain their lead at the top of the table and will be eager to secure three points at home. The match against Getafe is sure to be a challenging one, but with their star players in form and Flick’s tactical acumen, Barcelona will be confident of getting the win.
