Kessie, with a hamstring injury 

Once back in Barcelona after the game in the Czech Republic, tests carried out on Wednesday concluded that first team player Frank Kessie has a biceps femoris muscle strain in his left thigh. He is not available for selection and his recovery will determine his return.

The blaugrana midfielder had to be replaced in the 67th minute of the 4-2 win over Viktoria Plzen on Tuesday.
