Barcelona vs. Osasuna: Predicted Blaugrana XI for La Liga showdown

Barcelona head coach Hansi Flick is expected to make a couple of changes to his starting side for Saturday's La Liga clash against Osasuna.

The Catalan giants will enter the match off the back of a 1-0 win over Benfica in the first leg of their last-16 Champions League clash.

Pau Cubarsi was sent off in the early stages of the clash with Benfica - the Spain international is available for this match and is set to continue at the back; the youngster could have a new partner in the middle, though, with Ronald Araujo potentially coming in for Inigo Martinez.

Flick could also make a change in central midfield, with Marc Casado possibly replacing Frenkie de Jong, who has managed to work his way back into the team with a string of impressive performances.

Barcelona will again be without the services of Marc-Andre ter Stegen and Marc Bernal due to long-term knee problems, but Andreas Christensen is now available after a period on the sidelines.

Flick also has a decision to make when it comes to Gavi, who has missed the team's last two matches through illness.

It is expected that Gavi will return to the squad on Saturday, but he could ultimately start on the bench, with Dani Olmo potentially keeping his spot at number 10 behind Robert Lewandowski.

Olmo was replaced in the 28th minute of the Champions League game with Benfica last time out, but it was a tactical change from Flick after Cubarsi had been given his marching orders.

Barcelona possible starting lineup: Szczesny; Kounde, Araujo, Cubarsi, Balde; Casado, Pedri; Yamal, Olmo, Raphinha; Lewandowski
