As expected, Joan Garcia starts in goal again after returning from injury over the weekend against Athletic Club. Meanwhile, Ronald Araujo gets a start at the heart of the Barça defence, replacing Gerard Martin, who featured at the weekend. The Uruguayan international partners Pau Cubarsi, while Jules Kounde and Alejandro Balde occupy the full-back positions."
"In midfield, Frenkie de Jong returns after missing the league game vs Athletic due to suspension. He partners Eric Garcia, who was top-notch as a pivot at the weekend and received a rousing ovation from the Spotify Camp Nou. As for the attacking unit, Lamine Yamal retains his place on the right wing, while Fermin Lopez continues to operate as the No. 10."
