Barcelona head coach Xavi will be without the services of Frenkie de Jong for Tuesday's La Liga clash with Mallorca, while Pedri remains on the sidelines with a thigh issue.

De Jong was forced off in the first half of Saturday's 3-2 win over Celta Vigo due to an ankle problem, and the Netherlands international could now be unavailable for the next six weeks or so.

Pedri is also still missing with a thigh problem, but Ronald Araujo made his return from injury off the bench against Celta, and the defender could now potentially come in for a start.

Andreas Christensen has been carrying a knock in recent weeks and may be rested, which would allow Araujo to feature alongside Jules Kounde in the middle of the defence.

Robert Lewandowski scored twice in the comeback win over Celta and will once again operate through the middle, with Joao Felix set to feature off the left against Mallorca.

There is likely to be a change on the right, though, with Raphinha potentially given the nod over both Ferran Torres and Lamine Yamal, who are also competing to start in that position.

Alejandro Balde is also expected to return at left-back, having been named on the bench on Saturday, while Cancelo should continue at right-back for the La Liga champions.

Barcelona possible starting lineup: Ter Stegen; Cancelo, Kounde, Araujo, Balde; Gundogan, Romeu, Gavi; Raphinha, Lewandowski, Felix body check tags ::
