Three questions for Barcelona ahead of El Clasico

Barcelona have injuries in defence with full-backs Sergi Roberto and Jordi Alba definitely out. Gerard Pique is a bit of a doubt with an ankle problem but it’s hoped he will play.

If Pique does make it then Quique Setien still has to make a tough decision between Clement Lenglet and Samuel Umtiti as his partner. Setien seems to have just favoured Umtiti so far but Lenglet will be fresh after not starting against Napoli.

There will be plenty of focus on the full-backs too at the Bernabeu. Junior Firpo came in for much criticism in midweek against Napoli and seems to be devoid of confidence.
