Barcelona are reportedly set to be without a trio of key players for Sunday's El Clasico with Real Madrid.
Ronald Koeman has overseen a mixed start to the 2021-22 season but witnessed his side secure a confidence-boosting 3-1 win over Valencia in La Liga at the weekend.
La Blaugrana now go in search of their first Champions League win against Dynamo Kiev in midweek, but they have reportedly already been dealt bitter injury blows before Sunday's visit of Los Blancos.
According to Marca, Pedri, Ousmane Dembele and Ronald Araujo will play no part against Dynamo Kiev, and the trio will also be absent for El Clasico.
Dembele was thought to have had a chance of featuring at the weekend against Valencia, but the France international is seemingly in need of more time to get up to speed following knee surgery.
Barcelona sit seventh in the La Liga rankings ahead of the clash with Carlo Ancelotti's men, taking 15 points from the first 24 on offer in the 2021-22 season. body check tags ::
