Barcelona return to La Liga action after having beaten Real Betis in the Copa del Rey tie as they pay a visit to Getafe. The 'Azulgrana' find themselves third in the standings with 38 points - five behind Real Madrid and SIX behind new league leaders Atletico Madrid, who claimed top spot thanks to their win against Osasuna.
For the trip to the Coliseum, Marc-Andre Ter Stegen and Marc Bernal are the long-term absentees due to injuries suffered earlier this season. However, Inigo Martinez recently joined the pair due to an injury suffered in the Spanish Super Cup final against 'Los Blancos' in Saudi Arabia. The defender is expected to be out for the rest of the month.
Ansu Fati, who Hansi Flick spoke about in his last press conference, has been excluded from the squad list due to a technical decision from the German boss - this is now the fourth time in a row he has been left out of the team. But there are also bright news for the Catalans giants as Andreas Christensen is back after he was given medical clearance. The Dane's return comes at a crucial time, giving Flick another option for the centre-back position.
Goalkeepers: Inaki Pena, Wojciech Szczesny, Ander Astralaga.
Defenders: Pau Cubarsi, Alejandro Balde, Ronald Araujo, Andreas Christensen, Jules Kounde, Eric Garcia, Hector Fort, Gerard Martin.
Midfielders: Gavi, Pedri, Pablo Torre, Fermin Lopez, Marc Casado, Dani Olmo, Frenkie de Jong.
Forwards: Ferran Torres, Robert Lewandowski, Raphinha, Pau Victor, Lamine Yamal.
