Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at how Barcelona could line up against Eibar in La Liga on Saturday.

Barcelona will be without the services of seven first-team players for their final La Liga match of the season against Eibar on Saturday evening.

Clement Lenglet's red card in the 2-1 home defeat to Celta Vigo last time out means that the centre-back is suspended, but Frenkie de Jong is back from a one-game ban of his own.

Philippe Coutinho, Ansu Fati and Sergio Roberto remain on the sidelines for Ronald Koeman's side, while Marc-Andre ter Stegen has undergone a knee operation, meaning that Neto Moura will start between the sticks.

Lenglet's spot in the back three could be taken by Samuel Umtiti, while there might be a spot in the middle of the park for Riqui Puig on the final weekend of the campaign, with Pedri allowed to take an early holiday.

Ousmane Dembele is expected to get the nod over Sergino Dest on the right, while there could be a start in the final third for Martin Braithwaite, as Lionel Messi has been left out of the squad to prepare for this summer's Copa America.

Messi might have therefore played his last game for the club, with his contract due to expire at the end of June, but it has been claimed that the Argentine could make a statement on his future this weekend.

The likes of Trincao and Ilaix Moriba will also be hoping to play some minutes for Barca against Eibar, who have already been relegated to the Segunda Division.

Barcelona possible starting lineup: Neto; Araujo, Pique, Umtiti; Dembele, Puig, Busquets, De Jong, Alba; Griezmann, Braithwaite
