Sports Mole looks at how Barcelona could line up in Tuesday's La Liga clash with Rayo Vallecano.

Barcelona have been able to register new signing Dani Olmo in time for Tuesday's La Liga clash against Rayo Vallecano.

Olmo has missed Barcelona's opening two matches of the season against Valencia and Athletic Bilbao, which have both ended in 2-1 victories for the Catalan side, having not yet been registered with La Liga.

The forward's registration has now been confirmed; it is unlikely that the summer arrival from RB Leipzig will be introduced straight into the XI, though, with his first outing instead potentially coming off the bench.

The bulk of the side that started Saturday's 2-1 win over Athletic should keep their shirts, although there could be a change in an attacking area, with Fermin Lopez possibly replacing Ferran Torres.

Fermin is back in the fold after representing Spain at Euro 2024 and the Olympics over the summer, and he was used for the final 30 minutes of the clash with Athletic last time out.

Barcelona will be missing six players through injury on Tuesday, with Frenkie de Jong, Gavi, Ronald Araujo, Andreas Christensen, Eric Garcia and Ansu Fati unavailable for selection.

Inigo Martinez is enjoying a run in the side in the early stages of the campaign, and the centre-back is again set to start for Flick's team in their third game of the new league season.

Barcelona possible starting lineup: Ter Stegen; Kounde, Cubarsi, I Martinez, Balde; Bernal, Pedri; Yamal, F Lopez, Raphinha; Lewandowski
