Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at how Barcelona could line up for Thursday's Europa League quarter-final second leg with Eintracht Frankfurt.

Barcelona boss Xavi once again has a number of injury concerns to work around for Thursday's Europa League quarter-final second leg with Eintracht Frankfurt at Camp Nou.

Gerard Pique was taken off with an adductor issue in last week's 1-1 draw at the Deutsche Bank Park but has managed to force his way into the squad, but Sergi Roberto and Samuel Umtiti remain absent.

Ansu Fati is still building up his fitness in team training and will not be risked just yet, while Memphis Depay is working with the ball at his feet and will need to be assessed alongside Sergino Dest, with both men managing to make the squad.

Dani Alves's ineligibility should see Ronald Araujo deputise at right-back once again, as Clement Lenglet earns a rare start at centre-back alongside Eric Garcia with Pique struggling.

Sergio Busquets has not been a regular starter in the Europa League but should hold his spot given what is at stake here, as Frenkie de Jong also starts after coming off the bench to great effect in the first leg.

Pedri found the back of the net as a substitute in the weekend's La Liga win over Levante and will expect to displace Nico Gonzalez, while the bulk of Xavi's selection dilemmas come in attack.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Ferran Torres's spots are seemingly safe, but Adama Traore could not contribute to 62 minutes of action in the first leg and may cede his place to the reinvigorated Ousmane Dembele.

Barcelona possible starting lineup: Ter Stegen; Araujo, Lenglet, Garcia, Alba; Pedri, Busquets, De Jong; Dembele, Aubameyang, Torres
