Impact Gavi could play a role in the midweek game but might not see a lot of minutes of action after being sidelined since August. He'll likely make a gradual return before recovering a starting spot from either Marc Bernal or Fermin. In any case, Gavi's comeback should give a huge boost to the team's midfield quality.

Marc Bernal - Dealing with illness Bernal (stomach) played through illness before being forced off at the break during Saturday's 1-0 win against Athletic Club, according to Gabriel Sans from Mundo Deportivo.

Impact Bernal was under the weather ahead of Saturday's clash with Athletic Club and reportedly vomited several times before kickoff, but the midfielder still pushed to start and managed to make it through the first half. He was eventually subbed off at the break for Pedri after being unable to continue. The young midfielder will now aim to bounce back in time for Tuesday's Champions League showdown with Newcastle, though he should remain in a rotational midfield role for the Blaugranas once Pedri is back at full speed.
