Robert Lewandowski suffered muscle fatigue and some discomfort in the aftermath of Poland's Euro Playoff final win against Wales.
It's now possible that Lewandowski won't start Barca's game against Las Palmas or that he may not even play the match at all; that's if Xavi decides to rest him as the game against PSG lies on the horizon.
In any case, Xavi has solid options to choose from. The last time Xavi decided to rest Lewandowski [against Mallorca] he started Marc Guiu in the number 9 position but the young Spaniard did not impress on the night.
Perhaps it's time for Vitor Roque to get a chance to start a game in La Liga. The Brazilian has been shifted to the left or even left on the bench as he continues to understudy Lewandowski.
Joao Felix and Lamine Yamal are expected to start the game in attack completing Barca's front three.
Gundogan, Fermin and Christensen are likely to start in midfield. In defence, Pau Cubarsi, Araujo, Kounde and Cancelo are all expected to feature barring any unforeseen circumstances or Xavi's decision to rotate.
Here's how Barca can setup for Las Palmas without their 20-goal striker
