Barcelona are back in action tonight against Barbastro in the Copa del Rey.
La Blaugrana have a busy schedule in January before flying to Saudi Arabia for the Spanish Super Cup, as well as La Liga and the UEFA Champions League.
The ongoing saga surrounding Dani Olmo has affected Hansi Flick's plans as both he and Pau Victor have been left out of the squad.
The pair did not receive the green light from La Liga/the RFEF to play in time, as they are not registered for the second half of the season.
Flick has named a host of young players on the panel, with Wojciech Szczesny lined up for his club debut in goal.
According to reports from Diario AS, the starting team will look completely different at the end of 2024, with Ronald Araujo making his first appearance in the campaign.
The big surprise comes in attack, with Ansu Fati tipped to start as the Spain international chases a first Barcelona goal since June 2023.
Barcelona predicted XI: Szczesny, Kounde, Araujo, Garcia, Balde; De Jong, Fermín, Gavi: Pablo Torre, Lewandowski and Fati.
