Barcelona team news and squad
Robert Lewandowski and Ferran Torres each have one more game on the sidelines with bans and will miss this game as a result of that. Ansu Fati will probably join Ousmane Dembele and Gavi in the attack.
Pedri was taken off in the cup tie against Real Sociedad but is considered fit for the Girona game.
The likes of Marcos Alonso, Raphinha, Sergi Roberto and Jordi Alba should constitute the options from the bench unless Xavi decides to make a further change or two.
Barcelona possible XI: Ter Stegen; Kounde, Araujo, Christensen, Balde; Pedri, Busquets, De Jong; Dembele, Fati, Gavi
