Gavi is suspended while Jules Koundé, Sergi Roberto, Raphinha, Frenkie De Jong, Pedri and Robert Lewandowski. Xavi comes forward with only 12 first-team players and has been forced to deal with 8 youngsters from his academy.

Among them, there are well-known names like Lamine Yamal, Fermin Lopez and Marc Guiu who scored in the last match against Bilbao (1-0). There are also five less experienced youngsters like Hector Fort, Cubarsi, Aleix Garrido, Marc Casado and Astralaga. Xavi will be able to trust the young Blaugranas.
