World News – CA – How Barcelona could line up against Celta Vigo

Barcelona take part in La Liga for the second time this season, traveling to Celta Vigo on Thursday night

The Catalan giants started a new era under Ronald Koeman on Sunday in style with a routine 4-0 win over Villarreal

However, the visitors haven’t won any of their last five league fixtures at Balaidos, losing three of those recent fixtures.

Ahead of this latest Galicia clash, Sports Mole examines how Barca could line up

First-choice goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen and replacement striker Martin Braithwaite have been ruled out of this game with knee and thigh injuries respectively

Samuel Umtiti is also unlikely to play a role due to a persistent knee issue, which has kept him out of the squad since June

The likes of two-goal Frenkie de Jong, Philippe Coutinho and Ansu Fati have all impressed against Villarreal, so Koeman is unlikely to make any changes to his XI

However, with the matches coming fast and strong, Ousmane Dembele and summer signing Miralem Pjanic are hoping to earn a callback

Lionel Messi, on target from the penalty spot on Sunday, will almost certainly lead the line as he looks to build on an 11-goal comeback in 16 La Liga appearances against Celta
