Barcelona boss Xavi will have to work around the absence of Sergio Busquets for Tuesday's La Liga clash with Celta Vigo at Camp Nou.

The Spain international picked up his 10th booking of the league season in the victory over Real Betis and will serve a one-match suspension this week.

Xavi is also without the services of Pedri, Nico Gonzalez, Sergi Roberto, Gerard Pique and Sergino Dest through injury, while Marc-Andre ter Stegen was absent at the weekend due to a stomach bug.

Neto deputised well for the German in that 2-1 win over Betis, but Xavi will hope to have Ter Stegen back at his disposal for Tuesday's game, and he should be protected by Eric Garcia and Ronald Araujo if that is the case.

Dest and Roberto's injuries should see Dani Alves hold his place at right-back, as Jordi Alba continues on the left after his sumptuous last-gasp volley to win the day against Manuel Pellegrini's side.

Busquets's absence has opened up a spot for Riqui Puig to come into the midfield, with Gavi and Frenkie de Jong joining the Spaniard in Xavi's 4-3-3.

Ansu Fati's goal off the bench on Saturday has given Xavi food for thought, but the teenager will likely continue to build his minutes off the bench following his recent comeback.

As a result, Ousmane Dembele and Ferran Torres's spots out wide are seemingly safe, but Memphis Depay could drop out and allow Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to return up front.
