Jofre Torrents"
"The big news for this one is the return of Marc-André ter Stegen as the club captain gets his first call-up of the season after recovering from back surgery. That means Dani Olmo (shoulder) and Gavi (knee) are the only ones currently ruled out through injury, while Ronald Araujo remains away from the team for mental health reasons. Predicted starting XI (4-2-3-1): Joan; Kounde, Cubarsí, Martín, Balde; Eric, Pedri; Roony, Yamal, Raphinha; Lewandowski"
