Barcelona team news: Predicted Barcelona line up to face Espanyol – Messi and co left out
BARCELONA are expected to make wholesale changes for their Supercopa de Catalunya clash with Espanyol tomorrow (5.45pm).
Who will start for Barcelona when they take on Espanyol in their Supercopa de Catalunya clash?
The knockout tournament, a new edition of the Catalan championship, has been running every two years since 2014 and offers fringe players a chance to impress away from La Liga.
Valverde is set to rotate his team with Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and co all omitted from the match day squad following their 1-0 win over Atletico Madrid last weekend.
Jasper Cillessen is likely to start in goal while Ousmane Dembele, Denis Suarez, Paco Alcacer and Andre Gomes will all feature.
Lucas Digne, Aleix Vidal and Yerry Mina are also in the squad, while a number of academy graduates will also get a taste of first team action.
