Barcelona are set to face Deportivo Alaves at the Spotify Camp Nou in what promises to be an exciting La Liga encounter on Saturday afternoon.
Both sides will be eager to secure a positive outcome; Barcelona aim to continue their pursuit of the league title following a disappointing defeat in the Champions League. Alaves’ ambition will be to cause an upset against one of Spain’s top clubs.
Barcelona team news
Manchester United loanee Marcus Rashford could return to the Barcelona lineup after missing last week’s league fixture against Bilbao due to the flu. Rashford has made an immediate impact since joining on loan and will be keen to build on his promising start. Ferran Torres, who scored twice in Barcelona’s comprehensive 4-0 victory over Athletic Bilbao, is also anticipated to be available for selection.
Still, Hansi Flick’s squad is grappling with key injury issues. Goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen remains sidelined as he recovers from a back surgery. He is expected to be out until later this year. Midfielder Pedri is a doubt with a muscle strain but may be ready to play against Alaves on November 29, subject to further fitness checks.
Meanwhile, Gavi continues his rehabilitation from knee surgery and is expected to miss the match, likely returning at the start of 2026. Alejandro Balde has recovered from a hamstring injury and is fit to play.

Possible Barcelona starting XI: Garcia; Koundé, CubarsÃ, Araujo, Balde; López, De Jong; Yamal, Raphinha, Rashford; Lewandowski.
