Despite some much tougher games on the horizon for Barcelona, manager Luis Enrique is unlikely to risk resting any of his key players for the visit of Almeria. Two players who will definitely be missing, are Sergio Busquets through suspension and Jordi Alba with injury. However, Javier Mascherano will return to the team and will act as a direct replacement in midfield for Busquets. Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar are all set to start the match.
Almeria’s Verza, Maruo Dos Santos and Sebastian Dubarbier will all miss the game at the Camp Nou through suspension and Fran Velez joins Michel Macedo on the injury list. However, Thomas Partey returns from suspension to provide manager Juan Ignacio Martinez an option in midfield and Thievy Bifouma is likely to start as the lone striker.
