FC Barcelona XI vs Frankfurt: Starting lineup, confirmed team news and injury latest for Europa League game

Marc Mayo7 April 2022

Barcelona are without Dani Alves for tonight’s Europa League clash with Eintracht Frankfurt.

The Catalans travel to Germany for the first leg of their quarter-final tie off the back of major La Liga victories over Real Madrid and Sevilla.

Starting at the Camp Nou on Saturday was Alves, but the veteran continues to be absent for European matches having not been registered for the competition.

Sergino Dest is not fit to provide cover for the Brazilian due to a hamstring complaint, which has forced Ronald Araujo out wide.

Luuk de Jong misses the game having tested positive for Covid-19 late last week whereas injuries will keep Ansu Fati, Sergi Roberto and Samuel Umtiti sidelined.

Barca boss Xavi has chosen to rotate his lineup and bring in Adama Traore in place of the in-form Ousmane Dembele.

Predicted Barcelona XI: Ter Stegen; Araujo, Pique, Garcia, Alba; Gavi, Busquets, Pedri; Adama, Aubameyang, Torres.
