Hansi Flick tells two players they could leave in January

Barcelona coach Hansi Flick has surprised many with the faith he has shown in the La Masia academy in his first season at the club, but has produced excellent results with Marc Bernal and Marc Casado. However, it has become clear that there are a few players that Flick is not entirely convinced about.

One of them is Ansu Fati, who was due to return next week from a thigh injury, has been injured again, but even when he was fit he played less than 200 minutes.

On the other hand, Eric Garcia has also missed nearly two months of action due to fitness issues, but played most of the first four games in September.

However, Flick has told Fati and Garcia that if everyone is fit, they will fight for regular minutes. If anyone wants to leave in the winter transfer window, then Flick wouldn't stand in their way.

The information comes from the newspaper Sport, who further states that neither is currently planning to leave, but there could be offers in January.

Both intend to rethink their futures in the summer depending on how the season goes.

Most of Garcia's minutes have come in the midfield this season following Marc Bernal's season-ending injury, but Marc Casado has made the spot his own since Garcia's injury.

In addition, Frenkie de Jong and Gavi have returned from injury, while Andreas Christensen is also on the way back. For Fati, even when he was fit, it was clear that Flick has more faith in Pau Victor. /Telegraph/
