Luis Suarez looks set to return to Barcelona’s starting XI for the first time since January when the LaLiga leaders host struggling Leganes at Camp Nou tonight.
The Uruguayan forward came off the bench in Saturday’s 4-0 win at Mallorca as the competition resumed following its three-month coronavirus shutdown.
That was Suarez's first appearance since undergoing knee surgery after the Spanish Supercopa defeat to Atletico Madrid in January and with a busy period of games ahead, he is in line to start on Tuesday.
Lionel Messi will also be included in the XI and for the other forward slot, coach Quique Setien must decide whether to get behind under-fire attacker Antoine Griezmann or hand another start to Martin Braithwaite against his former club.
Braithwaite, who signed for Barca from Leganes in an emegency deal in February, scored his first goal for the Catalan club on Saturday.
Setien could also consider 17-year-old forward Ansu Fati on the left, with Barca in action again on Friday night in a tough match away to Sevilla.
In midfield, Arthur looks likely to start after he came on as a substitute against Mallorca, while Ivan Rakitic could also be included from the outset.
At the back, Clement Lenglet is available again after suspension and should replace Ronald Araujo, but Jordi Alba is banned and his place will be occupied by Junior Firpo.
Barcelona predicted XI: Ter Stegen; Semedo, Pique, Lenglet, Firpo; Arthur, Busquets, Rakitic; Messi, Suarez, Griezmann
Leganes predicted XI: Cuellar; Rosales, Omeruo, Awaziem, Silva; Perez, Recio; Ruibal, Erraso, Assale; Guerrero
