Barcelona will be without the services of three first-team players for Sunday night's La Liga clash with Cadiz.
Ousmane Dembele remains on the sidelines for the Catalan outfit due to the hamstring problem that he picked up in the 1-0 victory over Girona at the end of January.
Meanwhile, Ronald Araujo is suspended for this weekend's contest, having picked up a milestone yellow card in the 1-0 victory over Villarreal in La Liga last time out.
Barcelona will also be missing Pedri, with the midfielder picking up a hamstring injury during Thursday's Europa League knockout round playoff first leg with Manchester United.
A timeframe for Pedri's absence has not been set, but there have been suggestions that the midfielder could be on the sidelines for the next four weeks or so due to the nature of the problem.

However, Barcelona have been handed a huge injury boost, with Sergio Busquets back in the squad after recovering from the ankle injury that he picked up against Sevilla on February 5.
Xavi's side will be missing both Pedri and Gavi (suspension) for next week's Europa League knockout round playoff second leg with Man United, so Busquets's return is timely for the La Liga leaders.
"Pedri is an important player for the team and the way we play. He is important to the team's strategy. We will try to give rest of the players more opportunities and confidence. Everyone has to be ready," Barcelona's head coach told reporters during his pre-match press conference.
"We have a lot of games in a small time, so we always have to rotate. Tomorrow a lot of things could happen. We'll see, you can't think of Thursday's game right now."

Xavi also suggested that Eric Garcia and Pablo Torre could be involved against Cadiz.
"Garcia deserves chances. I may have wronged him because of the competition, but he plays at a high level, does not complain, is always positive. He deserves more minutes," the head coach added.
"Everyone has to be ready. We might need him (Torre) at any moment. He must be ready."
Barcelona have won each of their last six La Liga matches, which has left them eight points clear of second-placed Real Madrid at the top of the table.
Barcelona squad vs. Cadiz:
Ter Stegen, Tenas, Pena; Christensen, Alonso, Alba, Kounde, E Garcia, Balde; Busquets, Gavi, Kessie, Roberto, F de Jong, Torre; Lewandowski, Fati, F Torres, Raphinha, Alarcon
