Barcelona team news: Predicted Barcelona line up to face Roma – Major injury doubt
BARCELONA have some midfield selection issues ahead of the second leg of their Champions League quarter-final against Roma.
Who will start for Barcelona when they take on Roma in their Champions League quarter-final?
Barcelona manager Ernesto Valverde is faced with a selection headache despite a 4-1 advantage over Roma in their Champions League quarter-final clash.
Philippe Coutinho is ineligible for the Catalan giants while Sergio Busquets remains a doubt after limping off during the Round of 16 clash with Chelsea due to a fractured toe.
Busquets trained alone last week but the Spanish midfielder may not be fit in time to face Roma, meaning Paulinho is likely to partner Ivan Rakitic in central midfield.
Ousmane Dembele will be pushing for a start out wide although Sergi Roberto may be preferred if Valverde opts for caution.
Elsewhere, Andres Iniesta, Jordi Alba and Samuel Umtiti are expected to return to the starting XI after being rested against Leganes.
Take a look through the gallery above to see how Barcelona could line up when they take on Roma in their Champions League quarter-final second leg.
