Barcelona boss Xavi has a number of big decisions to make when it comes to his team selection for Sunday's La Liga clash with Athletic Bilbao at Camp Nou.

Hector Bellerin was back in the squad against Villarreal on Thursday after recovering from injury, with the Spaniard playing the final 20 minutes of his side's 3-0 win.

Andreas Christensen and Ronald Araujo will again be unavailable for selection against Athletic, while Memphis Depay remains on the sidelines with a hamstring problem.

Frenkie de Jong started in central midfield alongside Gavi and Pedri on Thursday, with Sergio Busquets on the bench, and the Dutchman could retain his spot in the XI for this match.

There is likely to be a change at the back for this game, though, with Eric Garcia potentially coming into the side, which would potentially see Marcos Alonso switch across to left-back.

Robert Lewandowski scored a brace against the Yellow Submarine and is again a certain starter in attack.

However, Xavi has a number of options in the wide areas, with Ousmane Dembele and Raphinha both pushing to return to the front three on Sunday night.

Ansu Fati's performance against Villarreal could see him keep his spot, but Dembele is likely to take Ferran Torres's starting role for this weekend's contest.

Barcelona possible starting lineup: Ter Stegen; Roberto, Kounde, E Garcia, Alonso; Gavi, De Jong, Pedri; Dembele, Lewandowski, Fati
