How Barcelona could line up against Mallorca

Sports Mole looks at how Barcelona could line up when they return to La Liga action against Mallorca on Saturday.

Barcelona will resume their La Liga season with a trip to struggling Mallorca on Saturday night.

The Spanish champions sit two points clear at the top of the table ahead of their return to action, and they recorded a 1-0 victory over Real Sociedad in their last fixture on March 7.

Quique Setien's side have already lost five times in the league this season but are in charge of their own destiny as the 2019-20 campaign prepares to resume following the lockdown period.

Here, Sports Mole looks at how Barca could line up on their return to action.


POSS BAR XI vs. MAL

Out: Ousmane Dembele (hamstring), Clement Lenglet (suspended)
Doubtful: Nelson Semedo (personal)

Barca will again be without the services of Ousmane Dembele due to a long-term hamstring problem, while Clement Lenglet is suspended because of the booking that he picked up against Sociedad last time out.

Lenglet's spot at the back is expected to be taken by Samuel Umtiti, while Sergi Roberto should get the nod at right-back due to the uncertainty surrounding Nelson Semedo's involvement.

Semedo trained alone on Thursday after reportedly breaching rules by attending a birthday party with 20 people. The Portuguese is expected to undergo another coronavirus test before his involvement is confirmed, but Roberto is the favourite to feature on the right side of the back four.

Elsewhere, Lionel Messi has overcome an injury scare and will start in the final third, while the lockdown period has allowed first-choice centre-forward Luis Suarez the chance to recover from a knee operation.

Antoine Griezmann should join Messi and Suarez in a three-man attack, but Setien has a big decision to make when it comes to who starts alongside Sergio Busquets and Frenkie de Jong in midfield.

Arthur and Ivan Rakitic are both in contention to make the XI, but Arturo Vidal is being tipped to get the nod despite being strongly linked with a move away from Camp Nou over the last few weeks.
