Sports Mole looks at how Barcelona could line up in Tuesday's Champions League clash with Porto.

Barcelona remain without the services of number one goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen for Tuesday's Champions League clash with Porto.

Ter Stegen missed Saturday's 1-1 draw with Rayo Vallecano in La Liga due to a back problem which he suffered while on international duty with Germany.

The stopper has not been able to recover from the issue in time for this contest, so Inaki Pena will again be given the nod between the sticks for the European clash.

Sergi Roberto, though, has overcome a calf issue and is back in the squad for this match.

Meanwhile, Frenkie de Jong was able to play the full 90 minutes against Rayo on his return from an ankle injury, and the Netherlands international should again be in the XI here.

Gavi, though, is set to miss the remainder of the 2023-24 campaign with the serious knee injury that he suffered while on international duty with Spain.

There will be a number of changes from the side that took to the field for the first whistle against Rayo, with Joao Felix, Ilkay Gundogan, Ronald Araujo, Jules Kounde and Raphinha all potentially coming in.

Fermin Lopez is also an option for the advanced midfield role against a talented Porto outfit.

Barcelona possible starting lineup: Pena; Cancelo, Araujo, Kounde, Balde; Gundogan, De Jong, Pedri; Raphinha, Lewandowski, Felix
