4 Barca B players expected to start in Xavi's first preseason game unveiled

Barcelona will play their first game of this term's preseason against Olot in a matter of hours.

Xavi is expected to try out at least 20 players in the game. However, the gaffer is more than likely to start with four Barcelona B players.

Let's list them:

Alex Balde. The Spaniard will likely start at left-back, as Xavi tries to test his only natural backup for Jordi Alba.

Mika Marmol. Xavi would try out the interesting Barca B centre-back against the Spanish minnows.

Chadi Riad. Marmol's partner at centre-back could be the Moroccan sensation.

Ez Abde. In the attack, Xavi will play Abde for the first time in months.
