Barcelona Team News
Barcelona remain hampered by injuries, though there is finally a sense of players returning at the right time.
Marc-André ter Stegen (back) and Pedri (hamstring) are still unavailable, while Frenkie de Jong will miss the match through suspension after picking up a second yellow card against Celta Vigo.
There is some good news, however. Raphinha has completed his recovery and may feature later in the game, and Joan Garcia is expected to start in goal after overcoming a knee issue. Andreas Christensen has also returned to fitness and should be available for selection.
Marc Casado has rejoined training and could step in for the suspended De Jong if he is cleared to play. Eric Garcia will continue operating with a protective mask due to his recent broken nose, while both Robert Lewandowski and Dani Olmo are fully fit.
Athletic Bilbao Team News
Athletic Bilbao, too, must manage several absences. Inaki Williams and Unai Eguiluz remain sidelined, while Maroan Sannadi is still unavailable. Benat Prados has been ruled out for the season after suffering a cruciate ligament injury.
Oihan Sancet has returned to training but remains a major doubt due to lingering fitness concerns. Yeray Alvarez continues to serve a long-term suspension.
There is a boost in attack, though: Nico Williams made a goalscoring return against Oviedo and is expected to be available again after completing full training.
