These are possible lineups, but nothing is certain since Luis Enrique isn’t giving any information to the media. We regularly see a discrepancy between these lineups and the one ultimately fielded, so we remain cautious. This is especially true in this situation, with rotation expected.
Between managing players’ fitness, setting the pace for certain players, securing a victory, and the squad’s inherent versatility, the options are numerous. Lucas Chevalier (24 years old) could well return in goal, but that’s not even a given.
The wisest course of action is to wait for the official announcement, roughly an hour before the match, to be certain of Luis Enrique’s choices. And even then, surprises regarding positioning are still possible.
