FC Barcelona will have nearly everyone available, including Gavi, who was part of the squad against Levante. Hansi Flick is expected to make a few changes in the lineup, with Dani Olmo, Jules Kounde and João Cancelo expected to start.
Lamine Yamal and Raphinha are expected to start again but are unlikely to finish the match, as the team has another game this weekend in La Liga against Sevilla away at the Estadio Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán.
Racing Santander will be without Andre Almeida, who is suspended after receiving a red card in the previous match against Deportivo Alaves. Simon Eriksson and Andres Martin are out due to injuries.
