The FIFA international break offers little to no recovery time for the most important players in Hansi Flick's Barcelona, who will report with their national team's to take part in international action.

Having some of the best players in the world has helped Barcelona remain unbeaten in 2025, reaching the Champions League quarterfinals, Copa Del Rey semifinals and leading the La Liga title race. The downside is that entering the decisive part of the season, key pieces in Flick's system get no time for rest in what's already a taxing campaign.

Originally, 12 Barcelona players were called up to represent senior national team's; however, injuries to Marc Casadó and Iñigo Martínez forced the pair to be dropped from Spain's call up, lowering the total number to 10 players who will represent six different nations.

Three more Barcelona first-teamers, Fermín López, Gerard Martín and Pablo Torre, will take part in international action with Spain's U-21 team.

Here's a complete guide to stay up to date with every Barcelona player that will be in action during the March international break.

Outside of Europe, Raphinha will hope to shine in Neymar Jr.'s absence to help Brazil surge in the Conmebol Wolrd Cup qualifiers and continue building his case for the Ballon d'Or award. Ronald Araujo will make his return to the Uruguay national team after and injury suffered in the 2024 Copa América kept him away from Marcelo Bielsa's squad for over eight months.
