Team news and injuries

Lionel Messi’s absence from the opening game saw his team lose 1-0. The Argentine wasn’t expected to feature in this game, with Valverde claiming he is not fully fit but after returning to training, the five-time Ballon d’Or winner is back in contention.

The same cannot be said about Luis Suarez, who is out with a calf problem, and Ousmane Dembele, who is sidelined with a hamstring issue. The Frenchman is tipped to miss up to five weeks of action but Busquets and Rakitic, who begun on the bench at Athletic Club, should return to the lineup.

As for Real Betis, an ankle injury looks to keep out Iglesias. Joel Robles is suspended due to his sending last weekend but the likes of Fekir and Carvalho are available and tipped to start.
