Barcelona vs. Inter: Blaugrana to play Gala XI with one doubt

FC Barcelona have their first home game in the Champions League this season against Inter Milan on Wednesday. After drawing against Borussia Dortmund, they need a win at home, and Ernesto Valverde will pick his strongest team with the only doubt coming from Jordi Alba's injury. 

Junior Firpo's played the last three games at left-back, against Granada, Villarreal and Getafe while Alba's been out. He wasn't even on the bench against Dortmund, therefore Nelson Semedo was moved to right-back when Alba went off injured. 

Inter are a team who are strong out wide and coach Antonio Conte's system sees three centre-backs and two talented attacking wing-backs. In this sense, Antonio Candreva's a player that can do damage and Dembele will have to decide if he goes with Junior or Semedo on that flank. 

Therefore, the defence could be formed by Sergi Roberto, Piqué, Lenglet and then either Semedo or Junior. If Junior continues in the side, Semedo could move back to right-back.

The side could be: Ter Stegen, Sergi Roberto, Piqué, Lenglet, Semedo/Junior, Busquets, Arthur, De Jong, Messi, Suárez and Griezmann.
