Cádiz looking for first ever win at Camp Nou
Despite having never secured a win at Camp Nou, the Andalusians will be encouraged by last season’s visit to the Catalan capital where they managed to pull off a surprise last season in Barcelona, holding them to a 1-1 draw.
Injury concerns for Xavi
Xavi Hernández’s team will be missing their most in-form player as Pedro González ‘Pedri’ had to be substituted against Eintracht Frankfurt due to a muscular problem that could rule the Canary Islander out for the rest of the season.
His injury, coupled with the absence of Ansu Fati, Sergi Roberto, Samuel Umtiti and Gerard Piqué and the suspended Ronald Araujo will force Xavi to call upon Eric Garcia, Clément Lenglet and Óscar Mingueza to man the Barça back line.
Cádiz will be missing midfielder Rubén Alcaraz, who is suspended with Álex Fernández set for a return to the team with the Madrid born player getting less and less playing time since the arrival of Sergio González on the Cádiz bench. The injured Varazdat Haroyan, Isaac Carcelén and Florin Andone will also be absent for the Andalusian side.
