How Barcelona could line up against Espanyol

Barcelona head coach Xavi has recovered both Gavi and Raphinha for Sunday's Barcelona derby with Espanyol in Spain's top flight, while Sergi Roberto has also been cleared to return to the squad.

Gavi was forced off in the first half of the clash with Osasuna on May 2 due to an adductor issue, while Raphinha was replaced early in the second period with a knee problem.

Both injuries were minor, though, and the duo are set to be involved in the game that could see Barcelona win the La Liga title.

Roberto, meanwhile, has been out for almost one month with a hamstring issue, but the Spaniard has also returned to the squad.

Ousmane Dembele was made two substitute appearances since returning from a long-term hamstring issue, and he could now come into the starting side on Sunday.

There are not expected to be any major surprises when it comes to the team selection, with Jules Kounde and Alejandro Balde again set to feature in the full-back positions.

This match will also mark the final Barcelona derby for Sergio Busquets, who has announced that he will be leaving Barcelona on a free transfer at the end of June.

Robert Lewandowski currently leads the scoring charts in La Liga, netting 19 times, two more than Karim Benzema, and he will be looking to cement his spot at the top this weekend.

Barcelona possible starting lineup: Ter Stegen; Kounde, Araujo, Christensen, Balde; F de Jong, Busquets, Pedri; Dembele, Lewandowski, Gavi body check tags ::
