Sports Mole looks at how Barcelona could line up in Saturday's La Liga clash with Celta Vigo.

Barcelona will be missing six players for Sunday's La Liga contest with Celta Vigo at Camp Nou.

Hector Bellerin, Ronald Araujo, Memphis Depay and Jules Kounde have not been available since the international break, and the quartet are all still on the sidelines.

Barcelona also lost Andreas Christensen to an ankle injury during the 1-0 defeat to Inter Milan in the Champions League on Tuesday night, which is likely to see Gerard Pique come in for a start in central defence.

Franck Kessie, meanwhile, is facing a spell on the sidelines with the thigh problem that he picked up during a training session on Wednesday morning.

Frenkie de Jong has returned to training, though, and the midfielder is expected to be in the squad for the game with Celta, as Barcelona look to make it seven straight league victories.

Sergi Roberto and Alejandro Balde are likely to operate in the full-back positions, while it should be the familiar midfield of Gavi, Sergio Busquets and Pedri.

Ousmane Dembele and Robert Lewandowski are certain starters in the final third of the field, while there should be another spot in the XI for Ansu Fati, who is likely to get the nod over Raphinha.

Marcos Alonso and Raphinha are set to be the two players to drop out from the side that took to the field for the first whistle against Inter on Tuesday night.

Barcelona possible starting lineup: Ter Stegen; Roberto, Pique, E Garcia, Balde; Gavi, Busquets, Pedri; Dembele, Lewandowski, Fati
