Barcelona will lock horns with Barbastro in the Cope del Rey in their first game of the new calendar year. They had to face a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Atletico Madrid in the La Liga in their previous game. However, they would like to keep that in the past now.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hansi Flick\u2019s side would want to <\/span>kick off with a<\/span> win this week before going into the Supercopa de Espana semi-final round. Though the manager will try to field a substantially solid lineup, many changes are expected to take place.<\/span><\/p>\n

Defence<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Inaki Pena<\/a> has been the first-choice goalkeeper since the injury to Marc-Andre ter Stegen. However, Wojciech Szczesny is in line to make his Barcelona debut this week. Right-back Jules Kounde continues to take onto the field.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ronald Araujo is also expected to make his much-anticipated return and he will pair up with Eric Garcia to form the heart of the defence. Gerard Mart\u00edn should be seen operating as the left-back, keeping Alejandro Balde on the bench.<\/span><\/p>\n

Midfield<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Frenkie de Jong and Pablo Torre are likely to form the holding midfield duo. Pedri and Marc Casado<\/a> might get minutes in the latter stages of the game if needed.<\/span><\/p>\n

Attack<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The attack consists of Ansu Fati and Fermin Lopez operating on the wings with Gavi deployed in the central areas to contribute to both aspects of the game.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ferran Torres<\/a> is leading the line as using Robert Lewandowski in this game would make very little sense to everyone.<\/span><\/p>\n

Andreas Christensen, Marc-Andre ter Stegen, Marc Bernal and Lamine Yamal are sidelined due to injuries while Dani Olmo and Pau Victor aren\u2019t available as they are yet to be registered.<\/span><\/p>\n
