Team News: Ousmane Dembele in Barcelona XI for El Clasico at Bernabeu

Ousmane Dembele has been named in the Barcelona XI for Sunday evening's El Clasico with Real Madrid at Bernabeu.

The France international, who was strongly linked with a January move away from Camp Nou, has been chosen to start alongside Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Ferran Torres in a front three in El Clasico.

There are no surprises in the midfield, with Pedri and Frenkie de Jong joining Sergio Busquets, while Sergino Dest's absence due to a hamstring problem has opened the door for Ronald Araujo to start at right-back.

There was uncertainty over Gerard Pique's centre-back partner, with Eric Garcia recently enjoying a run in the side, and Araujo's selection on the right has allowed the Spaniard to retain his spot.

Jordi Alba, as expected, starts at left-back, while Marc-Andre ter Stegen will play between the sticks.

A strong bench includes Memphis Depay, Adama Traore and Gavi, while Dani Alves, who was an option to start at right-back, is also among the substitutes for the away side tonight.

Sergi Roberto, Ansu Fati, Alejandro Balde and Samuel Umtiti remain on the sidelines through injury.
