Barcelona could welcome Ousmane Dembele and Sergio Aguero back into their squad for Sunday's La Liga clash with Valencia at Camp Nou.

Dembele and Aguero are yet to play this season due to injury, but the pair have stepped up their recoveries over the international break and could be involved from the bench this weekend.

Barcelona have lost Ronald Araujo to a hamstring injury, though, while Martin Braithwaite and Pedri remain on the sidelines for the Catalan giants.

Araujo's absence could open the door for Eric Garcia to feature alongside Gerard Pique in the middle of the defence, while Jordi Alba is available following injury and should be included in the side.

Ansu Fati is also expected to be named in the first XI, with the Spain international potentially joining Memphis Depay and Luuk de Jong as part of a front three.

Philippe Coutinho found it difficult to make his mark against Atletico Madrid before the international break and is likely to be back on the bench against Valencia.

Gavi became Spain's youngest-ever player earlier this month, and the highly-rated teenager is expected to feature alongside Sergio Busquets and Frenkie de Jong in the middle of the park.

Barcelona possible starting lineup: Ter Stegen; Dest, Pique, Garcia, Alba; F de Jong, Busquets, Gavi; Fati, L de Jong, Memphis
