Joan García made his impressive Champions League debut against Newcastle United and is set to retain his place in the starting XI. The Blaugrana will be without several key players though, with Lamine Yamal remaining sidelined due to a groin injury sustained on international duty. The Spanish winger has been ruled out of the last two matches and his return remains uncertain.

Marc-André ter Stegen continues his recovery from back surgery and will not be available for selection until later in the year. Alejandro Balde is also out with a hamstring injury suffered in training earlier this month, with the defender not expected to return until October. Gavi remains unavailable due to ongoing knee problems, with an operation not ruled out at this stage.

Marcus Rashford is expected to continue in the starting eleven following his impressive two-goal performance against Newcastle United in the Champions League. Manager Hansi Flick praised the English forward’s finishing ability and impact since joining from Manchester United on loan.
