The two teams meet in the last 16 of the Champions League at Camp Nou on Saturday

FC Barcelona are looking to book their place in the Champions League quarterfinals on Saturday when they host Napoli at Camp Nou. 

The two sides drew 1-1 in Italy in February and the winners of the second leg in Barcelona will progress to the final eight in Lisbon this month. 

Quique Setien brings Antoine Griezmann back into the side for the game. Griezmann scored Barça's goal in the first leg but missed the final two games of the league season injured. 

Griezmann's inclusion means Ansu Fati is on the bench, as is Riqui Puig, with Setien preferring Sergi Roberto, Ivan Rakitic and Frenkie de Jong in midfield. 

Barça are without the suspended Busquets and Vidal, while Dembele, Umtiti, Briathwaite and Arthur are also missing for various reasons. 

Three players are walking a suspension tightrope. If they're booked, providing Barça progress, Messi, Griezmann and Semedo would miss the next game. 

FC Barcelona-Napoli teams:

FC BARCELONA: Ter Stegen; Semedo, Piqué, Lenglet, Jordi Alba; Sergi Roberto, Rakitic, De Jong; Messi, Luis Suárez & Griezmann.

NÁPOLES: Ospina; Di Lorenzo, Koulibaly, Manolas, Mario Rui; Zielinski, Demme, Fabián; Callejón, Martens & Insigne.
