Barcelona vs Dortmund predicted lineups: Team news and latest injury list for Champions League clash

Barcelona are without Gerard Pique for tonight's Champions League clash at home to Borussia Dortmund, but Clement Lenglet is back from injury.

Pique misses the match through suspension and that means Lenglet, who was absent for the weekend win at Leganes due to a calf problem, should start alongside fellow French international Samuel Umtiti.

Umtiti, who has been troubled by knee problems since the World Cup, has not played twice in a row for over a year, but said this week he feels in “perfect” shape ahead of the game against Dortmund.

In the full-back positions, Sergi Roberto will start on the right because Nelson Semedo is out injured, with Junior Firpo set to feature on the left as Jordi Alba is also sidelined.

Arthur should return in midfield after sitting out altogether at the weekend, with coach Ernesto Valverde unlikely to field four forwards again, as he did at Leganes on Saturday.

Lionel Messi, Antoine Griezmann and Luis Suarez will be expected to form the trident in attack.

Meanwhile, former Barca striker Paco Alcacer is injured and will play no part against the Catalans, with Marco Reus likely to take his place up front.

Thomas Delaney and Marcel Schmelzer are also sidelined for the German side.

Barcelona possible XI: Ter Stegen; Sergi Roberto, Umtiti, Lenglet, Junior Firpo; Busquets, Arthur, De Jong; Messi, Suarez, Griezmann

Dortmund possible XI: Burki; Piszczek, Akanji, Hummels, Guerreiro; Weigl, Witsel; Hakimi, Brandt, Sancho; Reus
