Apart from Sergi Roberto (Injured), Xavi once again possess a fully fit squad just like in the Betis game. Pedri, Frenkie De Jong, Andreas Christensen and Ousmane Dembele are all fully fit and ready to continue which will be a huge relief for the Blaugrana head coach Xavi. 15 year old Lamine Yamal who made his debut against Real Betis at the weekend once again reserves a spot in the matchday squad.
David Garcia (Defender) and D.Brašanac (Midfielder) are the only two absentees of the Osasuna Squad.
Predicted Lineup
Defense
Jules Kounde, Ronald Araujo, Andreas Christensen and Alejandro Balde are expected to start at the back just like in the Real Betis game while Zamora trophy leader Marc Andre Ter Stegen will be the usual infront of the Blaugrana goal.
Midfield
Captain Sergio Busquets, Pedri and Frenkie De Jong will be the starting trio at the heart of the Blaugrana midfield.
Attack
Gavi, Robert Lewandowski and Raphinha are expected to start at the front while Lewandowski and Raphinha hope to continue their good run of form by leading the attack against Osasuna tomorrow.
Youngster, Lamine Yamal will get some minutes at the end most probably and let’s hope he will be able to break some records today.
Can FC Barcelona secure all 3 points and get into touching distance to the Laliga title or is there a surprise up on Osasuna’s sleeves ??
