With both Young and Shaw absent, Diogo Dalot is perhaps in line to start at right-back and Marcos Rojo is presumably the most likely option at left-back.

The latter has struggled with injuries this campaign, but was a substitute in the 2-1 victory over Watford and registered 45 minutes for the Under-23s against West Bromwich Albion last Friday.

An impressive performance from the Argentina international could earn him a starting spot at the Nou Camp next Tuesday.

Antonio Valencia and Matteo Darmian are still unavailable due to injury.

In the centre of defence, Eric Bailly is not expected to be fit following the head injury he sustained while on international duty a few weeks ago. That suggests Ole will choose two of Victor Lindelof, Phil Jones or Chris Smalling.
