Barcelona team news & squad

Ousmane Dembele's hamstring injury will keep him out of action until around March, with Sergio Busquets joining him on the sidelines after hurting his ankle in the Sevilla win.

Xavi may look to include Ansu Fati in Busquets' absence which is likely to be the only change in the XI, meaning Gavi moves into a midfield position.

Jordi Alba keeping out Alejandro Balde at left-back is not set to change either, with Robert Lewandowski stationed in the center of attack.
