How Barcelona could line up against Atletico Madrid

:Headline: How Barcelona could line up against Atletico Madrid: ID:422874: from db_amp
Sports Mole looks at how Barcelona could line up in Saturday's La Liga clash with Atletico Madrid.

Barcelona will be looking to make it three straight wins in all competitions when they continue their 2020-21 La Liga campaign away to Atletico Madrid on Saturday night.

The Catalan giants have had their problems this season but overcame Dynamo Kiev in the Champions League at the start of the month before beating Real Betis 5-2 in the league before the international break.

Ronald Koeman's side have work to do in Spain's top flight, though, as they currently sit down in eighth position in the table, some six points behind third-placed Atletico ahead of the clash.

Here, Sports Mole looks at how Barca could line up at Wanda Metropolitano.


Out: Sergio Busquets (knee), Ansu Fati (knee), Ronald Araujo (thigh)
Doubtful: Samuel Umtiti (knee), Philippe Coutinho (hamstring)

Barca will be without the services of Sergio Busquets, Ansu Fati and Ronald Araujo through injury this weekend, while Samuel Umtiti remains a doubt due to ongoing knee problems.

Philippe Coutinho has stepped up his recovery from a hamstring issue over the international break, though, and the Brazilian could potentially be involved off the bench on Saturday.

There are not expected to be any major surprises in the starting XI, with Busquets's absence opening the door for Miralem Pjanic to start alongside Frenkie de Jong in central midfield.

Lionel Messi will also be back in the side after starting on the bench against Betis last time out, while Ousmane Dembele, Pedri and Antoine Griezmann should also earn spots in the team.

Trincao and Sergino Dest are among those pushing for positions in the XI, but the performances of Dembele and Griezmann against Betis should see the pair retain their spots, while Koeman is likely to go for experience in the full-back areas in the shape of Sergi Roberto and Jordi Alba.
