An insight into the line-up plans of Barcelona head coach Hansi Flick for the club’s next outing has on Sunday been forthcoming online.
Barca, of course, are primed to return to action later this evening.
In the midst of a stellar run of recent form, culminating in seven successive victories across all competitions, the Blaugrana will make the trip to Anoeta, for a La Liga meeting with Real Sociedad.
With his side firing on all cylinders at present, it should in turn come as little surprise to hear that Hansi Flick is keen to make only minor changes to his line-up in San Sebastian.
The two most likely come at left-back and on the right wing, where Gerard Martín and Lamine Yamal – the latter of whom is struggling with fatigue – are expected to drop to the bench.
Stepping in will be Alejandro Balde, and Fermín López.
Two further doubts, though, have also emerged in Barca’s XI over recent days.
Pau Cubarsí (facial injury) and Dani Olmo (illness) will both start if passed fit, but if this does not prove to be the case, then Sergi Domínguez will slot in at the back, with Pedri handed a more advanced role in midfield.
Barcelona’s predicted XI to face Real Sociedad:
Iñaki Peña; Koundé, Cubarsí, Iñigo Martínez, Balde; Casadó, De Jong; Raphinha, Pedri, Fermín; Lewandowski
