Luis Enrique already would have more than outlined the eleven that will appear in Saint Mamés to struggle from the minute one by the three points against the Athletic of Bilbao in the first day of the League BBVA 2015-16. The only doubt is if the Asturian technician will bet finally by Claudio Bravo, that won the Trophy Zamora the past season and saved to the team in more than an occasion, or if by the contrary will opt for promoting the debut suspender belt of Marc-André Ter Stegen, that also was vital for the FC Barcelona although in UEFA Champions League and Glass of Rey.

Anyway, and in spite of that the most likely is that the guardameta Chilean occupy the Barcelona goal, what is clear is that one of the two players will not finish at all content in the bench. In defence Jordi Alba aims also to the titularity after having recovered finally of his problems in the isquiotibiales, whereas Dani Alves will play of right side, and Mascherano and Marc Bartra outline like central headlines of the FC Barcelona because of the sanctions of Gerard Hammered and Jeremy Mathieu. Thomas Vermaelen, however, will expect his turn in the bench.

Alves-Bartra-Mascherano-Jordi Alba

Busquets-Rakitic-Iniesta

In the centre of the field there will be discussion unless it produce some injury of last hour. Sergio Busquets will go back to exert of defensive pivote, seconding the exit of balloon of the team and connecting with the interiors Ivan Rakitic and Andrés Iniesta. The three have made the pre-season from the beginning and are more than ready physical and mentally to face with guarantees the second official commitment of the FC Barcelona this season. Players like Sergi Roberto or Gerard Gumbau could go in in the second part.

Rafinha-Messi-Luis Suárez

Neymar Still has to take the rhythm of competition after having been two weeks moved away of the terrains of game by a parotiditis, by what Rafinha Alcántara is the one who has more possibilities to occupy the position of left extreme.
