How Barcelona could line up against Getafe

Sports Mole looks at how Barcelona could line up in Sunday night's La Liga clash with Getafe.

Barcelona will be looking to return to winning ways in La Liga when they welcome fourth-placed Getafe to Camp Nou on Sunday night.

The Catalan giants have already secured the league title, but have lost their last two matches, including a shock 4-0 defeat at Liverpool in the second leg of their Champions League semi-final on Tuesday night.

As a result, Barca will not be present in the 2019 Champions League final, but they could still win a domestic double with the Copa del Rey final against Valencia taking place later this month.

Ernesto Valverde's side will be keen to return to winning ways after also losing 2-0 at Celta Vigo in the league last weekend, but Getafe have been one of the best teams in Spain's top flight this term.

Here, Sports Mole has taken a look at how the hosts could line up on Sunday night.


POSS BAR XI vs. GET

Out: Rafinha (knee), Luis Suarez (knee), Ousmane Dembele (hamstring)

Barca will be without the services of Luis Suarez, who has undergone a knee operation. The Uruguay international joins Ousmane Dembele on the sidelines, with a hamstring problem making the attacker unavailable for selection.

Rafinha is also still absent as he recovers from knee surgery, but Valverde otherwise has a full squad to choose from heading into Sunday's clash at Camp Nou.

Carles Alena and Samuel Umtiti are amongst those who could come into the XI, while Nelson Semedo and Arthur - who both came off the bench at Anfield - might also feature from the start.

Youngsters Moussa Wague, Riqui Puig and Abel Ruiz have been involved in first-team training ahead of the match, and there is a chance that all three could make the squad for this contest.

Malcom and Philippe Coutinho are also being tipped to start, although both continue to be linked with moves away from the Spanish champions ahead of the opening of this summer's transfer window.
