Sergio Busquets is back in the Barcelona side for Thursday's Europa League knockout round playoff second leg with Manchester United at Old Trafford.

The experienced midfielder has recently been sidelined with an ankle problem, and he was not involved in last week's first leg, which ended in a 2-2 draw.

However, Busquets was back in the squad against Cadiz in La Liga on Sunday, and the former Spain captain has returned to the starting XI for this match.

Barcelona are missing Pedri (hamstring), Ousmane Dembele (hamstring) and Gavi (suspended) for tonight's match, which has opened the door for Sergi Roberto to start in an advanced area.

Head coach Xavi has also changed two defenders from the first leg last week, with Andreas Christensen and Alejandro Balde preferred to Marcos Alonso and Jordi Alba.

Franck Kessie retains his spot in central midfield, while Robert Lewandowski, as expected, leads the line.

Ansu Fati and Ferran Torres would both have been hoping for starts in the final third of the field, but Xavi has instead gone for defensive solidarity in the shape of Roberto.

Barcelona XI: Ter Stegen; Kounde, Araujo, Christensen, Balde; De Jong, Busquets, Kessie; Roberto, Lewandowski, Raphinha

Subs: Tenas, Pena, Fati, F Torres, Alonso, Alba, E Garcia, Casado, Torre body check tags ::
