Will Flick make changes? How Barcelona could line up against Daegu

Barcelona head coach Hansi Flick will once again select a strong starting side when the La Liga champions take on Daegu in their third pre-season friendly of the summer on Monday.

Lamine Yamal scored twice in a 7-3 victory over FC Seoul last time out, and the Spain international is again expected to be in the XI against Daegu, with Dani Olmo, Raphinha and Robert Lewandowski also expected to feature in the final third of the field.

Flick will make use of his squad during the contest, but potentially his first-choice XI will start, as the beginning of the 2025-26 campaign is now just around the corner.

Joan Garcia is benefitting from the absence of Marc-Andre ter Stegen, with the summer arrival immediately becoming Barcelona's new number one goalkeeper.

Marcus Rashford, meanwhile, has featured twice off the bench for the La Liga champions since his arrival on loan from Manchester United.

Inigo Martinez was not involved against FC Seoul last time out due to muscular fatigue, but the experienced centre-back is expected to be introduced into the XI on Monday.

Meanwhile, Pedri and Frenkie de Jong are set to feature in the middle of midfield for Flick's side.

Barcelona possible starting lineup: J Garcia; Kounde, Cubarsi, I Martinez, Balde; Pedri, De Jong; Yamal, Olmo, Raphinha; Lewandowski
