Quique Setien says that "the idea is to make changes" as Barcelona prepare for the second of three games in the space of a week.

Barcelona boss Quique Setien has revealed that he plans to make full use of his squad for Tuesday evening's La Liga clash with Leganes.

The Catalan giants marked their return to action with a 4-0 win over Mallorca on Saturday to maintain a two-point lead on Real Madrid at the summit.

Barca face a quick turnaround in fixtures as this evening's visit of Leganes is followed by a trip to third-place Sevilla on Friday.

Having started the likes of Arturo Vidal, Ronald Araujo and Martin Braithwaite last time out, Valverde intends to continue rotating his squad over the remaining 10 games.

"The idea is to make changes," he told reporters. "We'll see how the fatigue affects the players.

"But I want to go into the end of the season with the necessary freshness so that the performance isn't affected by the minutes."

Barcelona are also still involved in the Champions League, with their last-16 tie against Napoli locked at 1-1 after March's first leg.
