Alejandro Balde recovered from a knock to his ankle and was introduced as a second-half substitute against Arsenal. However, new signing Inigo Martinez will have to wait for his club debut as the defender remains sidelined with a football injury.
Although the likes of Balde, Ferran Torres, Jules Kounde, Frenkie de Jong and Franck Kessie will all be looking to start in the Clasico tie, they are likely to have a role to play at some stage.
Barcelona possible XI: Ter Stegen; Kounde, Araujo, Garcia, Balde; Kessie, Romeu, De Jong; Dembele, Lewandowski, Fati.

Real Madrid team news
The Spanish capital side's new signing in Arda Guler would also remain a doubt on account of a thigh problem, while Dani Ceballos is ruled out with a hamstring injury.
It's been a healthy exchange for a spot in goal between Andriy Lunin and Thibaut Courtois, although the latter may be given the nod despite Lunin keeping a clean sheet in the Man United win.
Meanwhile, players such as Eder Militao, Ferland Mendy and Toni Kroos will also be raring to start on Saturday.
Real Madrid possible XI: Courtois; Carvajal, Militao, Alaba, Mendy; Kroos, Tchouameni, Valverde; Bellingham; Joselu, Vinicius Jr.
