Hansi Flick has three alternatives to Marc Casado in mind for remainder of Barcelona season

Barcelona secured a crucial 4-2 comeback win over Atletico Madrid on Sunday, a victory that took them closer to a potential La Liga title.

However, the win came at a significant cost as Marc Casado suffered a serious knee ligament tear, likely sidelining him for the rest of the season.

Inigo Martinez also picked up a knee injury, though he may return after the international break.

Barcelona manager Hansi Flick has three potential replacements for Casado: Eric Garcia, who took over Casado's defensive duties in the game; Gavi, who excelled in a deeper role last season; and Andreas Christensen, though his injury struggles make him an unlikely option.

Garcia is considered the most defensive alternative, but Gavi's intensity and skill set may make him a closer fit to Casado.
