A change is expected on the left side of La Liga giants Barcelona’s backline in the club’s showdown with Galatasaray on Tuesday.
Hansi Flick’s Barca are of course primed to shift focus back towards matters on the continent later this evening. After making short work of Getafe in their post-international break return to the pitch this past weekend, a trip to Istanbul lies in wait.
The Blaugrana will face off with a Galatasaray outfit who remain unbeaten at home this season, amid what is expected to be nothing short of an electric atmosphere.
And if the latest word stemming from the Spanish media is anything to go by, then Hansi Flick appears ready to lean on experience over youthful exuberance as a result.
As per a report from Mundo Deportivo, João Cancelo is in line to replace Xavi Espart at left-back at RAMS Park.
Cancelo has for his part featured from the off in just three of Barcelona’s outings this season, but has thoroughly impressed when afforded the opportunity.
