Barcelona's trip to Bayer Leverkusen, while Dani Alves
is unavailable due to suspension.
Barcelona coach Luis Enrique has decided to rest Gerard Pique
and Andres Iniesta for Wednesday's Champions League trip to
Bayer Leverkusen.
The reigning champions have already clinched top spot in Group
E with one game to spare, allowing Luis Enrique to juggle his
options with a tough test against high-flying Deportivo La
Coruna to come in the league this weekend before they jet out
to Japan to contest the Club World Cup.
The Barcelona coach will also have to make do without the
services of Dani Alves at the BayArena due to suspension, with
the Brazilian picking up his third yellow card in the 6-1 win over
Roma last time out.
Furthermore, Jeremy Mathieu, Sergi Roberto, Douglas and
Rafinha all remain unavailable due to injury.
Youngsters Sergi Samper, Juan Camara, Gerard Gumbau and
Wilfrid Kaptoum have made the cut for Wednesday's encounter.
Barcelona recorded a 2-1 win over Leverkusen at Camp Nou
earlier this season, with Sergi Roberto and Luis Suarez
cancelling out Kyriakos Papadopoulos' opener.
