Barça have made a string of changes for their first game post the international break

Barcelona return to action on Saturday after the international break with their seventh LaLiga game of the season away at Mallorca.

After two weeks off, and following a spate of injuries during the break (Kounde, Araujo, Bellerin, De Jong, Memphis), Xavi has made changes.

Gerard Pique and Jordi Alba come into the side, with Alejandro Balde seeming set to play at right-back. Franck Kessie starts in midfield, with Pedri rested.

In attack, Ansu Fati is chosen to partner Robert Lewandowski and Ousmane Dembele.

Barça have 16 points from 18 so far in LaLiga but sit second in the table because Real Madrid have 18 from 18.
