Barcelona welcome Valencia to the Estadi Olímpic Lluis Companys this Sunday in matchday 21. The Azulgranas face the game with the absence of two key midfield players: Dani Olmo, who is still recovering from an overloaded soleus muscle in his right leg, and Pedri, who is out at the last minute due to gastroenteritis.
Gavi and Fermin Lopez have been tipped as Flick's possible alternatives to replace the injured players. Barca are third in the league and are looking to close the gap on leaders Real Madrid, who beat Valladolid 3-0 on Saturday.
Valencia come into the game in good form after Carlos Corberan took over the reins following the sacking of Ruben Baraja, although they are still in the relegation places. The game is a crucial opportunity for Los Cules to stay in the race for the league title.
Barcelona's German coach said there will be rotations in the starting line-up due to the physical strain after the recent Champions League comeback against Benfica.
Goalkeepers: Inaki Pena, Wojciech Szczesny, Kochen.
Defenders: Pau Cubarsi, Alejandro Balde, Ronald Araujo, Andreas Christensen, Jules Kounde, Eric Garcia, Hector Fort, Gerard Martin.
Midfielders: Gavi, Pablo Torre, Fermin Lopez, Marc Casado, Frenkie de Jong.
Forwards: Ferran Torres, Robert Lewandowski, Raphinha, Pau Victor, Lamine Yamal, Ansu Fati.
