Barcelona will have to cope without attacker Ferran Torres for Thursday's Spanish Super Cup semi-final against Real Betis at the King Fahd International Stadium in Saudi Arabia.
The 22-year-old was sent off following a bizarre wrestling incident with Atletico Madrid's Stefan Savic towards the end of Barca's 1-0 La Liga win in the Spanish capital last weekend.
Torres will now miss the trip to the Middle East due to suspension but the Catalan giants are able to welcome back Robert Lewandowski and Jordi Alba from their respective bans and both players are expected to be recalled to the starting lineup by head coach Xavi.
Lewandowski, who has scored 18 goals in 20 games for Barca since joining the club over the summer, is set to take the place of Ansu Fati who started as a central striker last time out.
Raphinha will be hoping to join the Polish marksman in attack after beginning on the bench against Atletico, and the Brazilian's inclusion could see Ousmane Dembele switch over to the left flank.
Pedri operated further forward in the front three against Atletico, but he may drop back into centre-midfield on Thursday alongside Frenkie de Jong and Sergio Busquets, and Gavi could therefore be the unfortunate one to miss out on a place in the first XI.
The return of Alba at left-back is set to see Alejandro Balde drop to the bench, while Andreas Christensen, Ronald Araujo and Jules Kounde could all retain their places in the back four, shielding goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen.
Barcelona possible starting lineup: Ter Stegen; Kounde, Araujo, Christensen, Alba; Pedri, Busquets, F. de Jong; Raphinha, Lewandowski, Dembele
