Because of the big accumulation of parties in these last weeks and to the drops, Ernesto Valverde could carry out rotations to play in front of the Athletic Club. Luis Suárez and Sergio Busquets are the big absences by injury

After having happened to quarter-finals of the Champions League defeating to Chelsea, now touches to think in LaLiga Santander. The FC Barcelona will confront against the Athletic Club in the Camp Nou after having parked the European competition and knowing that it will not have split between week.

The duel will take place this Sunday day 18 March to the 16:15 hours of the afternoon and will present novelties in the Barcelona alignment because of the drops and to the accumulation of parties of the last weeks. This is our forecast for the party:

Ter Stegen

Ter Stegen Will go back to be the guardian of the goal of the FC Barcelona, that will do gala of his spectacular state of form. The German follows showing a very high level and has the will to recover his first place in the trophy Zamora, that at present is in the gloves of Oblak, goalkeeper of the Athletic of Madrid, with a goal of advantage with regard to the germano.

Sergi Roberto-Hammered-Umtiti-Jordi Alba

Ernesto Valverde, very probably, will repeat the same defence that played against Chelsea the past Wednesday. The injury of Thomas Vermaelen does to foresee that Gerard Hammered and Samuel Umtiti go back to be the couple liguera in the axis of the defence, whereas the drop of Nelson Semedo will award the right side to Sergi Roberto. Jordi Alba is the only that it could rotar with Lucas Digne.

Rakitic-Iniesta-Paulinho

Because of the important drop of Sergio Busquets by injury, Ivan Rakitic will be the attendant to play by in front of the defence. Paulinho, that has not been headline in the last meetings, will be his companion in the medullary. The third in discord would be Andrés Iniesta, although it is not descartable that rest because of the physical wear that the manchego has had in the last parties. André Gomes could give him rest.

Dembélé-Messi-Coutinho

The drop of Luis Suárez for having seen five yellow cardboards does to think that the FC Barcelona could première his new trident, unpublished in what it goes of season. Leo Messi will enjoy of total freedom in the offensive zone whereas Philippe Coutinho and Ousmane Dembélé would occupy the bands. Paco Alcácer and Aleix Vidal, also with options to play.
