Athletic Club team news

Yeray Alvarez, Inigo Ruiz de Galarreta and Oihan Sancet will need once-overs ahead of Wednesday's game, with Valverde likely to make changes.

Rotations can see the players such as Unai Simon, Andoni Gorosabel, Dani Vivian and Yuri Berchiche be handed starts, with Nico Williams and Inaki Williams also expecting to return to the lineup.

Barcelona team news

Dani Olmo and Pau Victor are named in the squad despite their registration issues, while Hector Fort and Andreas Christensen could for the most make the squad after recovering from their setbacks. Ferran Torres remains a fitness doubt.

Blaugrana boss Hansi Flick is also unlikely to risk Lamine Yamal who returns from an ankle injury, while the likes of Inaki Pena, Pau Cubarsi, Alejandro Balde, Gavi and Raphinha are all in line to benefit from changes.
