An insight into the personnel plans of Barcelona head coach Hansi Flick for the club’s upcoming meeting with Newcastle United has been forthcoming online.
The info comes courtesy of **[Diario Sport](https://www.sport.es/es/noticias/barca/once-dudas-121688424)**, and points towards several predicted changes in the Blaugrana’s XI.
Barcelona are of course primed to return to action later today.
In the club’s European season opener, the Spanish champions will make the trip to England, for a Champions League showdown with Newcastle United.
The fixture comes fresh off a resounding return to winning ways for Barca this past weekend, to the tune of a six-goal drubbing of Valencia.
Despite as much, though, alterations are expected on the part of the visitors at St. James’ Park.
As per a report from Sport, likely to step back into Barcelona’s starting line-up are all of Ronald Araújo, Frenkie de Jong, Raphinha, and Robert Lewandowski.
Wide-man Raphinha’s inclusion comes as a particularly noteworthy one, with the Brazilian expected to switch to the right flank in place of the sidelined Lamine Yamal.
Check out the Blaugrana’s predicted XI to face Newcastle below:
Joan, Koundé, Araújo, Cubarsí, Gerard Martín, De Jong, Pedri, Fermín, Raphinha, Rashford, Lewandowski
