Sports Mole looks at how Barcelona could line up in Tuesday's pre-season friendly with AC Milan.

Ousmane Dembele is expected to be involved in Barcelona's pre-season friendly with AC Milan on Tuesday evening despite the widespread speculation surrounding his future.

The France international is currently being heavily linked with a switch to Paris Saint-Germain, and Barcelona head coach Xavi has refused to rule out a move away from Camp Nou this summer.

Dembele should again feature alongside Robert Lewandowski in the final third of the field, while Raphinha is likely to earn a recall to the Catalan side's attack.

The La Liga champions are set to be without both Andreas Christensen and Ilkay Gundogan, though, with the pair picking up injuries against Real Madrid.

Christensen was replaced in the 29th minute of the 3-0 win over Los Blancos due to a muscular issue, while Gundogan was substituted in the latter stages of the first half.

Neither injury is believed to be serious, but they are not expected to be risked here.

Sergi Roberto could come into the side at right-back, while Pedri could drop into a deeper area, allowing Raphinha to feature in the final third of the field.

Oriol Romeu was impressive against Real Madrid last time out, and the recent arrival should continue in central midfield against the Italian outfit.

Barcelona possible starting lineup: Ter Stegen; Roberto, R Araujo, Kounde, Balde; Romeu, De Jong, Pedri; Dembele, Lewandowski, Raphinha
