In particular, goalkeeper Marc Andre Ter Stegen will be unavailable due to back problems, his presence is also uncertain in the duel with FC Porto from the UEFA Champions League groups.

At the press conference before the match with Rayo, Xavi confirmed the absence of the German goalkeeper.

“Ter Stegen will not play tomorrow. We have full confidence in Inaki Pena, who is 100% ready.

There is nothing to say about Gavi’s replacement at the moment. We are talking to Deco, but at the moment we have no other news.” – said the coach of Barcelona.
