An insight into the line-up plans of the coaching staff at La Liga giants Barcelona for the club’s return to action on Tuesday has been provided.
Barcelona are of course primed to kick their European campaign back into gear tomorrow evening.
A Champions League meeting with Ligue 1 outfit Stade Brestois lies in wait, in Catalunya’s capital.
The Blaugrana will be without a number of important players for the clash, with Lamine Yamal and Alejandro Balde two of those ruled out through injury.
As much means that Hansi Flick will be forced to get creative with his XI, in the hopes of bouncing back following a two-game winless streak either side of the international break.
And, as alluded to above, on Monday, an insight into the plans of Barca’s headmaster when it comes to as much has been provided.
As per a report from Diario AS, one major doubt remains when it comes to Flick’s line-up to face Brest.
This comes in the form of a toss-up between Gavi and Fermín López to join the pairing of Marc Casadó and Pedri in the middle of the park.
We at GSFN consider it unlikely that Gavi, after such a prolonged absence, will be handed two starts in such quick succession, though.
Barcelona’s predicted team to take to the pitch on Tuesday night is therefore as follows:
Iñaki Peña; Koundé, Cubarsí, Íñigo Martínez, Fort, Casadó, Pedri, Raphinha, Fermín, Olmo and Lewandowski
