Ronald Araujo was expected to start in the middle of the pitch in the match, but Barca boss Koeman opted for his new arrival at Eric Garcia, who also face Clement Lenglet and Samuel Umtiti respectively. Oscar Mingueza is currently injured but will return to the line.

For Ronald Koeman, he believes Eric Garcia and Pedri Gonzales will show more sporting prowess than most of their opponents in the first few weeks of the season after representing Spain this summer at Euro 2020 and at the Olympic Games.
