How Barcelona could line up against Real Valladolid

Sports Mole looks at how Barcelona could line up in Saturday's La Liga clash with Real Valladolid.

Barcelona will be looking for their third straight La Liga victory when they travel to Real Valladolid on Saturday night.

The Spanish champions have beaten Villarreal and Espanyol in their last two matches to move to within a point of league leaders Real Madrid in the table.

Los Blancos will have the chance to open up another four-point advantage on Friday night, though, which would pile the pressure on Barca ahead of the clash at Estadio Municipal Jose Zorrilla.

Here, Sports Mole looks at how Quique Setien's side could line up against 14th-placed Valladolid, who will enter the match off the back of a 2-1 defeat at Valencia.


Out: Ousmane Dembele (hamstring), Ansu Fati (suspended)
Doubtful: Samuel Umtiti (knee), Frenkie de Jong (calf), Junior Firpo (hip)

Barca will again be without the services of Ousmane Dembele due to a long-term hamstring injury, while Ansu Fati is suspended due to the red card that he picked up against Espanyol on Wednesday night.

Defenders Samuel Umtiti and Junior Firpo remain doubts with knee and hip problems respectively, but Frenkie de Jong is allegedly in line to make a timely return for the Catalan giants.

De Jong has been out since the middle of June with a calf issue, but the Netherlands international has now returned to training and is expected to return to the middle of the park.

Arturo Vidal for Ivan Rakitic is a change that could occur in midfield, while Nelson Semedo might be the player to drop out for De Jong, which would see Sergi Roberto switch to the right-back spot.

Setien is unlikely to take any chances in the final third of the field, though, with Antoine Griezmann set to earn another start alongside Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez, who scored the only goal of the game against Espanyol.
