Barcelona travel to the Estadio Coliseum on Saturday to take on Getafe in matchday 33 of La Liga.
Sitting eight points clear of Real Madrid at the top, Barcelona have the chance to stretch their lead to 11 with another win.
Hansi Flick’s side comes into this game after a narrow but important 1-0 victory over Celta Vigo at the Camp Nou. They have been in excellent form, winning eight of their last nine league matches, and continue to dominate possession with an average of over 68% per game.
Barcelona team news
Barcelona are dealing with several squad issues. Lamine Yamal has been ruled out for the rest of the season due to a hamstring injury.
Raphinha, Andreas Christensen, and Marc Bernal also remain unavailable, although Bernal’s condition will be checked again before a final decision is made. Eric Garcia is suspended after accumulating yellow cards.
There is some positive news, as João Cancelo is expected to be fit, but the coaching staff may avoid taking risks with him. Alejandro Balde is likely to start at left-back instead.
With multiple absences in attack, Barcelona are expected to adjust its frontline. Roony Bardghji and Fermin López could play on the wings, with Dani Olmo in a central role and Ferran Torres leading the attack.
Barcelona predicted lineup
Possible Barcelona starting XI: García; Koundé, Cubarsí, Martín, Balde; De Jong, Pedri; Bardghji, Olmo, López; Ferran Torres.
