Todibo and Umtiti are both back in training after physical problems had kept them out, but there are reasons to think it will be Todibo who will play alongside Clément Lenglet.
Barcelona are without Gerard Piqué due to yellow card accumulation and thus will need to rely on a slightly unfamiliar face in the starting XI. B team player Ronald Araújo, who came on as a substitute for Todibo against Sevilla, is also out due to suspension.
