BAR vs RVL Dream11: The 2021-22 edition of La Liga is back in action with another round of fixtures this weekend as Rayo Vallecano lock horns with Xavi’s Barcelona outfit at the Camp Nou on Sunday.
Rayo Vallecano are currently in 14th place in the La Liga standings and have slumped after a strong start to their campaign. The Madrid-based outfit edged Espanyol to a crucial 1-0 victory last week and will need to work hard to achieve a similar result in this fixture.
Barcelona, on the other hand, are in second place in the league table at the moment and have had their fair share of issues this season. The Catalan giants defeated Real Sociedad by a 1-0 margin in their previous game and will be confident going into this match.

Barcelona Team News
Injury Report, Unavailability, Expected Changes and Strategy
- Barcelona will again be missing Sergi Roberto, Samuel Umtiti and Pedri for this match, while Ansu Fati has again been left out of the squad despite making strong progress in his recovery from a hamstring issue.
- Gavi and Jordi Alba should be available despite suffering knocks against Barcelona, but Gerard Pique, Dani Alves and Ronald Araujo all had to be substituted on Thursday with issues, and it seems unlikely that the trio will start this weekend’s contest despite being named in the squad.
- As a result, Sergino Dest, Eric Garcia and Clement Lenglet could come into the back four, but there are not expected to be any alterations in midfield or attack despite the likes of Luuk de Jong, Memphis Depay and Adama Traore pushing for minutes.
Barcelona Starting XI (Likely)
Marc-Andre Ter Stegen
Sergino Dest
Eric Garcia
Clement Lenglet
Jordi Alba
Gavi
Sergio Busquets
Frankie de Jong
Ousmane Dembele
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang
Ferran Torres

Injury Report, Unavailability, Expected Changes and Strategy
- Ivan Balliu will be back from a suspension and is expected to come into the starting side at Camp Nou, potentially taking the place of Mario Hernandez at right-back.
- There is no change to the away side’s injury situation, though, with Martin Merquelanz and Esteban Saveljich remaining on the sidelines with knee and hamstring issues respectively.
- Aside from Hernandez, head coach Iraola could select the same side that took to the field for the first whistle against Espanyol, with Alvaro Garcia and Isi Palazon again supporting Guardiola at centre-forward.
Rayo Vallecano Starting XI (Likely)
Stole Dimitrievski
Ivan Balliu
Nikola Maras
Catena
Francesco Garcia
Oscar Valentin
Santi Comesana
Isi Palazon
Oscar Trejo
Alvaro Garcia
