How Barcelona Could Line Up Against Juventus Today In The Champions League.

The big matches continue to come thick and fast for Barcelona as
night.

The trip to Turin - a repeat of the 2015 final - comes just four days after Ronald Koeman's side were beaten 3-1 at home by their bitterest rivals, leaving them with only one point from their last three domestic outings.

Barcelona were much more convincing in their opening Champions League group game, though, with five different players getting on the scoresheet in a comfortable win over Ferencvaros.

Here, Sports Mole looks at how Koeman could set his side up for Wednesday showdown.

Out: Gerard Pique (suspended), Philippe Coutinho (hamstring), Marc-Andre ter Stegen (match fitness), Samuel Umtiti (match fitness)
Doubtful: None

Barcelona's struggles at the moment are perhaps best summed up by their likely XI for this match - far from the star-studded team sheet we are used to seeing from the five-time European champions.

That is particularly true in defence, where Koeman's options were further depleted by Gerard Pique's red card against Ferencvaros on matchday one.

Pique's suspension, coupled with Samuel Umtiti's continued absence through injury, means that Ronald Araujo is likely to partner Clement Lenglet at the heart of the defence.

Former Juventus goalkeeper Neto is once again expected to start in goal as Marc-Andre ter Stegen misses out through injury, while summer signing Sergino Dest and Jordi Alba make up the likely back five.

Ter Stegen, Alba, Pique, Sergio Busquets and Lionel Messi were all in the Barca team that beat Juventus in the 2015 final, yet they look much less of a force right now and of that quintet only two could start if Koeman chooses Frenkie de Jong and Miralem Pjanic - a summer arrival from Juve - in the middle of the park.

There is still a sprinkling of stardust in the form of Messi.

Ter Stegen Will Get Tested To See Whether He Is Ready For El Clásico Vs Real Madrid

By

After an operation on August 18 on his knee that has kept him off the pitch for multiple weeks,  Marc-André ter Stegen  could be close to his return. Ter Stegen will get tested to see whether he is ready for the duel against Real Madrid on October 24. On October 18, two months will be completed since the German’s injury, and in theory, he would be 100% healthy at the end of the current month. His recovery time was predicted as 2 and a half months. However, the evolution of the German goalkeeper’s knee is going quite well and the club’s doctors know that it is a matter of weeks for Marc-André to receive the medical green-light. If all goes well, he could be ready ahead of time.          Source : jsportnewsaddess.blogspot.com
