Sports Mole looks at how Barcelona could line up in Saturday's La Liga clash with Real Sociedad.

Barcelona will be without the services of teenage midfielder Gavi for Saturday's La Liga contest with Real Sociedad at Camp Nou.

The 18-year-old misses out through suspension due to the yellow card that he picked up in the 4-2 success over Espanyol, which confirmed Barcelona as champions for the 2022-23 campaign.

Pedri and Ronald Araujo, meanwhile, are out of the contest due to muscular discomfort.

As a result, there will have to be at least three changes to the side that took to the field for the first whistle of the Catalan derby, and Ousmane Dembele - recently back from a hamstring injury - is likely to be introduced in attack, with Eric Garcia and Franck Kessie also potentially starting.

Dembele is expected to feature alongside Raphinha and Robert Lewandowski in a front three, with Xavi unlikely to shuffle his pack despite the title already being secured.

Barcelona will certainly be looking to finish their league season on a high, so the likes of Jordi Alba, Ansu Fati, and Marcos Alonso might have to accept spots on the bench once again.

Sergi Roberto had been expected to miss the rest of the season with a hamstring issue, but the Spaniard was back on the bench against Espanyol.

Sergio Busquets is leaving Barcelona on a free transfer at the end of June, so this match is set to represent his penultimate appearance as a home player at Camp Nou.

Barcelona possible starting lineup: Ter Stegen; Kounde, E Garcia, Christensen, Balde; Kessie, Busquets, De Jong; Dembele, Lewandowski, Raphinha
