Barcelona are looking forward to strengthen their lead atop the league table before the World Cup as the Catalans visit Estadio El Sadar to face Osasuna after bidding farewell to Gerard Piqué on Saturday.
Jules Koundé and Memphis Depay will be unavailable for this game through injury. They join Franck Kessié, Ronald Araújo and Sergi Roberto in Barça’s long list of players who are currently sidelined.
With Eric García and Andreas Christensen given medical green light, the Spaniard and the Dane might potentially be the starting centre-back duo for the match.
On the other hand, Alex Baldé as a right-back has been impressive so far, which would see head coach Xavi experimenting the left-footed youngster on the right yet again.
The coach still considers Sergio Busquets an important part of the team, so we can expect a midfield of Pedri, Busquets and de Jong, with Gavi sitting on the bench.
Not least of all, Xavi might also fancy starting the same attacking trio of Ferran Torres, Robert Lewandowski and Ousmane Dembélé that he did against Almeria.
