Official: Barcelona starting lineup against Osasuna | La Liga GW8
With Barcelona set to take on CA Osasuna at El Sadar in a little over an hour, manager Hansi Flick has announced the starting lineup that will be taking the field.
And there are some very interesting changes made to the team that started in midweek against Getafe.
The biggest headline is that Lamine Yamal has been given a breather by the manager after the 17-year-old has featured relentlessly since the start of the season. Raphinha is also benched by Flick.
Stepping into the team in their places are Ferran Torres and Pau Victor, who makes his first start as a Barcelona player. Robert Lewandowski leads the line as usual.
Meanwhile, there are also starts for Gerard Martin and Sergi Dominguez in defence, with Alejandro Balde and Inigo Martinez getting a rest. Pau Cubarsi and Jules Kounde complete the defensive unit.
Pedri returns to the starting XI in midfield after being rested against Getafe. He partners Eric Garcia in the double pivot while Pablo Torre continues to operate as the No. 10.
