Sports Mole looks at how Barcelona could line up in Tuesday's Champions League clash with Viktoria Plzen.

Barcelona will be missing a number of first-team players for Tuesday's Champions League contest with Viktoria Plzen.

The Catalan giants will again definitely be without Ronald Araujo (thigh) and Sergi Roberto (shoulder), while Sergio Busquets is unavailable for selection through suspension.

Andreas Christensen and Memphis Depay are making strong progress in their recoveries from ankle and hamstring problems respectively, but the duo have again been left out of the squad.

Saturday's 1-0 victory over Valencia in La Liga came at a cost, meanwhile, with both Eric Garcia and Jules Kounde being forced off the field through injury.

Garcia's groin problem will rule him out of this contest, while Kounde will not be risked, with the Frenchman said to be suffering with muscular fatigue.

As a result, Gerard Pique and Marcos Alonso could feature as the two central defenders, while there will be changes in midfield, with Franck Kessie and Gavi potentially starting alongside Pedri.

Robert Lewandowski scored his 18th goal of the campaign in Barcelona's 1-0 win over Valencia, but the Poland international has been left out of the squad for this match.

There could be a couple of changes in the final third of the field, with Ferran Torres and Raphinha potentially coming in for Ousmane Dembele and Lewandowski.

Barcelona possible starting lineup: Ter Stegen; Bellerin, Pique, Alonso, Balde; Gavi, Kessie, Pedri; Raphinha, Torres, Fati
