Barcelona coach Hansi Flick has confirmed that Raphinha and Frenkie de Jong are available again after injuries ahead of the Real Betis fixture. Both players are returning to the squad, although their playing time will be managed carefully.

Raphinha has resumed group training after missing matches against Getafe and Galatasaray. Flick said neither player would be rushed into heavy minutes and indicated De Jong could feature as he rebuilds fitness.
