Barcelona's expected XI to face Roma
Barcelona host Roma on Wednesday, in the first leg of their Champions League quarter final tie. According to 'SPORT', manager Ernesto Valverde may well name an unchanged lineup from the side that beat Chelsea.
With Sergio Busquet's return to training, the Barcelona manager now has all his key men ready for the first leg of his side's tie against the Italian side, aside from Coutinho, who is ineligible to play in the Champions League.
The defence that will attempt to keep Roma out will most likely feature the usual suspects, as long as nothing changes before Wednesday. Ander Ter Stegen should be between the sticks, behind Gerard Pique and Samuel Umtiti, with Sergi Roberto and Jordi Alba flanking the centre-backs.
In the middle of the pitch, we are expected to see three familiar faces. Sergio Busquets should return, alongside Andres Iniesta and Ivan Rakitic, with Paulinho relegated to the bench.
Up top, Ousman Dembele will feature, accompanying Barca's lethal duo of Leo Messi and Luis Suarez.
