Tata Martino will reportedly bring back Neymar, Andres Iniesta, Gerard Pique and Xavi Hernandez to the Barcelona line-up to face Espanyol.
Friday sees the Blaugrana host Los Pericos in the first Catalan derby of the season, for Week 12’s opening fixture.
On from making five changes to the team ahead of their 3-0 win at Celta Vigo on Tuesday evening, speculation is that Martino will reincorporate a number of first-team names for the visit of Javier Aguirre’s side.
Neymar, Andres Iniesta, Gerard Pique and Xavi Hernandez are all seen as in line to feature from the start tomorrow night.
Meanwhile, it is Sergio Busquets who is seen as most at risk in being handed a break, for minutes accumulated playing since the October international break, with Alex Song likely to play in his place.
Adriano remains a doubt for Friday’s match, after picking up a hamstring injury at Balaidos. If he does not make the game, Martin Montoya will deputise.
