Team news
This will be only the 10th league game for Ernesto Valverde in charge of Barcelona, but he will already face his former employers. The Blaugrana have history on their side, but a thin squad could end their unbeaten run against Los Leones.
Oriol Busquets and David Costas of Barça B have been named in the squad for Saturday’s trip. The reason: injuries have left Valverde with little options.
Jordi Alba has overcome his fitness issues, with Javier Mascherano also making the squad despite coming down with a fever. Both should help the Catalan giants’ clean sheet run against the Basque club.
Andres Inieista will not be available after pulling the gracilis muscle in his right thigh. He joins Ousmane Dembélé, Rafinha, Arda Turan, Aleix Vidal, and Thomas Vermaelen on the sidelines.
