Team News: Barcelona name strong side for Leganes clash

Barcelona boss Luis Enrique names a strong starting lineup for his side's trip to Leganes in La Liga.

Barcelona boss Luis Enrique has selected a strong starting lineup for his side's trip to Leganes in La Liga.

After last weekend's shock defeat to Alaves, the trio of Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar have all been named in the team as the Catalan giants look to get back to winning ways in the league.

Gerard Pique, Javier Mascherano and Samuel Umtiti could line up as three centre-backs in a 3-4-3 formation as Enrique makes a total of three alterations to the team that thrashed Celtic in the Champions League.

Rafinha and Andres Iniesta have been recalled to the side while Marc-Andre ter Stegen takes his place in goal.

Leganes boss Asier Garitano has also made numerous changes to his team with the likes of Darwin Machis, Mamadou Kone, Carl Medjani, Lluis Sastre and Unai Bustinza all being included.

Leganes: Serantes; Bustinza, Diaz, Rico, Insua; Gabriel, Medjani, Lopez, Sastre; Machis, Kone

Barcelona: Ter Stegen; Mascherano, Pique, Umtiti; Rafinha, Rakitic, Iniesta, Alba; Neymar, Suarez, Messi
Subs: Cillessen, Suarez, Arda, Alcacer, Sergi Roberto, Gomes, Mathieu
