Sergio Busquets has an opportunity to rest so Lucho may use another player as the pivote, including Denis Suarez

Luis Enrique left Marc-Andre ter Stegen and Gerard Pique out of the squad for Barcelona's Champions League clash with Borussia Monchengladbach. The Asturian coach is likely to play an experimental line up.

There are no doubts between the sticks, with Jasper Cillessen, who played against Hercules in the Copa del Rey, starting. Sergi Roberto may step out for Aleix Vidal who also featured in Alicante, while Mascherano and Umtiti could be paired with Digne at left-back.

Sergio Busquets has an opportunity to rest so Lucho may use another player as the pivote. Given Andre Gomes has played a lot he could spring a surprise and pick Denis Suarez there. The Galician ought to be accompanied by Iniesta, who should keep building his fitness, and Rafinha, who was not picked in the Clasico squad. 

Up front Lucho says Messi will play, while Luis Suarez and Paco Alcacer could complete the front line.
