Line-ups: Barca-BATE

Andres Iniesta marks his return to fitness on the right-hand side of Barcelona’s attack for tonight’s visit of BATE Borisov in the Champions League.

The midfielder made a cameo appearance at Getafe on Saturday, having missed the past month with a hamstring injury, but is free to start against the Belarussians in an advanced role, with Sergi Roberto keeping his place in central midfield.

Elsewhere for the competition holders, Marc-Andre ter Stegen replaces Claudio Bravo in goal, while Adriano, Thomas Vermaelen and Javier Mascherano make up a new-look backline.

Former Barca man Aleksandr Hleb, meanwhile, is only named as a substitute on his return to Camp Nou.
