“They are a good team and Van Bommel is doing a very good job, and he wants to leave a mark playing football based on teamwork,” Xavi added.
“We will decide which players will feature after training and prior to the game, but it is a good chance to give opportunities to young players and others who haven’t played that much.
“Logically we will make changes.”
Inaki Pena is almost certain to continue in goal after Marc-Andre ter Stegen had back surgery last week.

“The injury to Ter Stegen is not good news,” the goalkeeper said. “It makes me proud to be playing in this shirt.
“I have trained every day thinking that this day would come because you never know what can happen. At a club like Barca you can’t relax for a single day.
“I have been training for a long time with Ter Stegen and it is a pleasure to be able to learn from one of the best players in the world.
“Picking things up from him has made me a better goalkeeper.”
