Pau Víctor, 19. Lamine Yamal There were a few doubts coming into this one as Pau Cubarsí suffered a kick to the face in midweek that caused a deep wound and required 10 stitches, but the young center-back is in the squad and is expected to play with a mask. Lamine Yamal and Dani Olmo both missed training on Saturday but are also in the squad, though Héctor Fort is forced to miss this one with a lower back issue.
The other long-term injury issue ruled out are Marc-André ter Stegen (knee), Ferran Torres (hamstring), Andreas Christensen (Achilles), Eric García (groin) and Marc Bernal (knee), while Ronald Araujo (hamstring) is back in training but not yet fully cleared. Predicted starting XI (4-3-3) : Peña; Kounde, Cubarsí, Iñigo, Balde; Casadó, De Jong, Pedri; Raphinha, Lewandowski, Olmo The match kicks off at 9pm CET/WAT (Barcelona & Nigeria), 8pm GMT (UK), 3pm ET, 12pm PT (USA), 1.30am IST (India, Monday), and you can join us to follow and comment all the action.
