Barcelona are set to be missing four players for Saturday afternoon's La Liga contest with Getafe.

Joao Felix and Sergi Roberto were both back in the squad against Napoli in the Champions League, and the former featured in the latter stages of the 1-1 draw in Naples.

As a result, the club's injury list has been cut to four, with Ferran Torres (thigh), Alejandro Balde (hamstring), Marcos Alonso (back) and Gavi (knee) the players currently on the sidelines for the Spanish champions.

Head coach Xavi will need to assess the fitness of his players following the last-16 first leg with Napoli, and Lamine Yamal could drop down to the bench due to the relatively quick turnaround here.

Raphinha is likely to be the player to benefit if Yamal does drop out, but Xavi will be reluctant to make many changes, as he is attempting to build rhythm within a particular side.

Andreas Christensen is currently being used as a central midfielder and that is again expected to be the case against Getafe, with Pedri being pushed into the front three.

Robert Lewandowski will again lead the line for Barcelona, fresh from becoming the team's oldest goalscorer in the knockout rounds of the Champions League on Wednesday night.

The team's attacking options have been boosted by the return of Felix, while Vitor Roque will also be hoping to receive some more minutes in La Liga this weekend.

Barcelona possible starting lineup: Ter Stegen; Kounde, Araujo, I Martinez, Cancelo; Gundogan, Christensen, F de Jong; Raphinha, Lewandowski, Pedri
