Sports Mole looks at how Barcelona could line up in Sunday's La Liga contest with Athletic Bilbao.

Barcelona will welcome Gavi and Robert Lewandowski back into their squad for Sunday's La Liga contest with Athletic Bilbao at San Mames.

Gavi was missing against Valencia last weekend due to a suspension, while Lewandowski has recently been sidelined with a hamstring problem.

Lewandowski has now recovered from the issue, though, with the Poland international set to lead the line on Sunday, while Gavi could also feature in the final third of the field.

Barcelona will definitely be missing three players on Sunday, with Ousmane Dembele and Pedri still out with hamstring problems, while Ronald Araujo is suspended following his red card against Valencia.

Both Dembele and Pedri are in the latter stages of their recoveries, though, and Araujo will also only miss one match, so head coach Xavi could have a full squad available in the near future.

Sergi Roberto might get the nod at right-back on Sunday evening, with Jules Kounde likely to be moved into the middle of the defence alongside Andreas Christensen.

Franck Kessie could therefore come into central midfield, with Ansu Fati and Ferran Torres likely to drop down to the bench for the contest with Athletic.

Barcelona possible starting lineup: Ter Stegen; Roberto, Kounde, Christensen, Balde; F de Jong, Busquets, Kessie; Raphinha, Lewandowski, Gavi
