Frenkie de Jong and Roony Bardghji are unavailable through injury, while Jesse Bisiwu did not train with the first team on Saturday and will join the reserve squad.

Gerard Martín, Xavi Espart, Marc Bernal, Fermín López and Anthony Gordon could also return to the starting lineup after beginning the Feyenoord game on the bench.
