Barcelona are dealing with plenty of injury issues as they prepare to face Dynamo Kiev in the Champions League tonight.

While the win at Camp Nou in game week three helped breathe life into Barca’s hopes of progressing through the group stage, the club have since sacked Ronald Koeman and lost Gerard Pique through injury as rumours about a move for the legendary Xavi Hernandez swirl.

Pique joins a lengthy injury list. Sergio Aguero was taken off in the recent draw with Alaves with breathing difficulties and the likes of Pedri, Martin Braithwaite, Frenkie De Jong and Ousmane Dembele are all also missing.

With that in mind, tonight’s game looks a hugely difficult tie.

Traveling away from home to a hostile environment without a manager and a handful of key players, keeping up with Benfica and Bayern Munich at the top of the group will be a big ask.

Barcelona starting XI: Ter Stegen; Mingueza, Lenglet, García, Alba; Nico, Busquets, F. De Jong; Gavi, Depay, Fati

Injured: Pedri, Braithwaite
