Barcelona team news
Sergio Busquets is also suspended with five bookings to his name, while Ousmane Dembele, Sergi Roberto, and Andreas Christensen are still struggling with their injuries.
Busquets' void in the middle of the park is expected to be filled by Franck Kessie, with Gavi, Frenkie De Jong and Pedri fighting for the other two spots in midfield.
Pedri can alternately compete with Ferran Torres and Ansu Fati a little further up, while Robert Lewandowski is likely to start despite failing to score in four straight competitive games.
