The line-up expected to be fielded by Barcelona in the club’s upcoming showdown with Real Madrid has been unveiled online.
This of course comes ahead of the season’s fast-approaching first Clásico.
Trailing their arch rivals by two points in the race for La Liga supremacy, Barcelona will make the trip to Spain’s capital tomorrow evening, to face off with table-topping Real.
Hansi Flick and his staff have been left to deal with something of an injury crisis in the buildup to the clash, with several selection calls having therefore been forced upon the German.
And on Saturday, Barca tested the XI which is expected to line out at the Santiago Bernabéu in training.
As per a report from Diario Sport, the following group of players took to the pitch at the Ciutat Esportiva this morning:
Szczęsny, Koundé, Cubarsí, Eric, Balde, De Jong, Pedri, Fermín, Lamine, Rashford and Ferran Torres.
It remains to be seen if this is the exact setup made use of by the visitors to Madrid, but as things stand, it looks the most likely Barcelona XI for the Clásico.
