How Barcelona could line up against Bayern Munich

Sergi Roberto was the team's only absentee against Cadiz on Saturday, with the midfielder missing out due to a minor muscular issue, but he has been cleared to travel to Munich for this contest.

Barcelona did not suffer any fitness issues in their 4-0 win over Cadiz in La Liga, while they have no suspension concerns, so Xavi has a full group to choose from at Allianz Arena.

There will be changes from the side that took to the field for the first whistle on Saturday, with Robert Lewandowski, Pedri, Ousmane Dembele, Eric Garcia and Jules Kounde all set to come back in.

Lewandowski made it nine goals for the campaign with a goal off the bench against Cadiz, and he scored three times in Barcelona's 5-1 win over Viktoria Plzen in the Champions League last week.

The Poland international will lead the line against the team that he left over the summer, and he is expected to be joined by Dembele and Raphinha in attack.

Frenkie de Jong is likely to drop out of the midfield to allow Pedri and Gavi to play alongside Sergio Busquets, while Xavi has some big decisions to make at the back.

Kounde could be moved across to right-back to allow Ronald Araujo to feature alongside Eric Garcia in the middle, while teenager Alejandro Balde is bidding to hold off Jordi Alba to keep his spot at left-back.

Barcelona possible starting lineup: Ter Stegen; Kounde, Araujo, E Garcia, Balde; Gavi, Busquets, Pedri; Raphinha, Lewandowski, Dembele
