The winger suffered a domestic accident just before returning after two months out with groin problems. Now, he is out with a fractured toe on his left foot.<\/p>  <p>Therefore, Enzo Maresca will likely opt for <strong>Estevao and Jamie Gittens<\/strong> alongside <strong>Joao Pedro<\/strong> in attack. In goal, Robert S\u00e1nchez will be in net, while Malo Gusto and <strong>Marc Cucurella<\/strong> should be the full-backs.<\/p>  <p>The central defensive pairing would be made up of Chalobah and Fofana, while <strong>Mois\u00e9s Caicedo, Andrey Santos, and Enzo Fern\u00e1ndez<\/strong> will be the midfielders of a very offensive team, with a formation similar to Bar\u00e7a&#8217;s (4-2-3-1). The &#8216;blues&#8217; are coming off a draw as visitors against <strong>Qarabag <\/strong>(2-2) and have 7 points, the same as the Bar\u00e7a team.<\/p>  <ul> <li>\ud83d\udc49 Follow the complete coverage of the <b><a data-external=\"0\" data-intl-links-en=\"https:\/\/www.fcbarcelonanoticias.com\/en\/champions-league\" data-intl-links-es=\"https:\/\/www.fcbarcelonanoticias.com\/champions-league\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fcbarcelonanoticias.com\/en\/football-soccer\/champions-league.html\" rel=\"follow\" target=\"_self\" title=\"Champions League\">2025\/26 UEFA Champions League<\/a><\/b> at FC Barcelona Noticias<\/li> <\/ul> ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chelsea and Barcelona face each other this Tuesday on matchday 5 of the Champions League.
