Flick said: “We have to accept it. We have decided that it is.
Raphinha endured a miserable night playing for Brazil against Argentina on Tuesday, suffering the teasing of the monumental crowd for its inflammatory comments prior to the game that failed as their team were beaten 4-1.
Araujo lost Uruguay’s 0-0 draw with Bolivia, the second of the two games during the past week for Marcelo Bielsa’s men, due to an injury and both players will not be involved against Osasuna and, instead, they will retire for the game against Girona on Sunday.
Flick added: “Raphinha and Araujo will not be part of the team tomorrow. They have a very long flight and have to recover.
“Ronald did not play the last game, but after his injury, it is good that he has trained. We will see what happens on Sunday.
“We have a good team and what I have seen in training has been positive. We have to fight for the three points. If we win tomorrow, it will be a good reaction.”
Cubarsi to start the Osasuna game at the bank
The central defender Pau Cubarsi was also injured in the International Service for Spain and the Osasuna game at the Bank will begin.
“Eric García and Iñigo Martínez will play as central defenders,” said Flick. “Pau will be at the bank. You better have a couple more days if you need it. The injury is not great. If I need it, he would play.”

Flick asks the League to provide more help to Spanish clubs in Europe

The former head of Germany Flick believes that the League should do more to help his clubs participating in European competition.

“I can’t change it. We will treat it and there are no excuses. The squad is ready and will have to manage the loads.
“We have a great quality in the team and we can beat anyone. I am positive.”
Barça enters the game tomorrow night at the points with Real Madrid at the top of the table. Atlético de Madrid is four points from the Catalan club.
Osasuna is 14 and on a six -game streak without a victory in all competitions.
