La Liga leaders Barcelona will be aiming for their ninth win of the season when they host Sevilla at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys on Sunday evening.
Under Hansi Flick, Barcelona are currently top of La Liga with 24 points from their first nine games of the season, while Sevilla are in 12th place with 12 points from nine games.
Latest Barcelona vs Sevilla squad information
Barcelona will definitely be without Ferran Torres, Marc-André ter Stegen, Marc Bernal, Andreas Christensen and Ronald Araujo for this weekend's match against Sevilla.
However, Lewandowski and Yamal both trained on Thursday after picking up problems during the international break, and both are expected to be in the squad.
Gavi, Fermin Lopez and Dani Olmo are also likely to return to the squad to face Sevilla, with the trio having recovered from injury, but it would be a surprise if any of them start.
Wojciech Szczesny is also expected to be in the squad, with the veteran goalkeeper now available for the game, although Inaki Pena is likely to retain his place in goal for now.
For Sevilla, Saul Niguez and Djibril Sow will miss the game through injury, while Tanguy Nianzou is suspended after being sent off in the Seville derby against Real Betis in their last game.
Kike Salas is likely to be the beneficiary of a starting XI, but it will likely be the same one that Sevilla fielded against Real Betis before the international break.
Isaac Romero is expected to continue as the centre-forward, with Peque Fernandez taking the No. 10 role, while Jose Angel Carmona is expected to start in place of Jesus Navas at right-back.
Latest expected lineup Barcelona vs Sevilla

Latest football commentary Barcelona vs Sevilla
Barcelona have suffered serious injury problems this season, but that makes their start all the more impressive, winning eight of their nine La Liga games and currently leading the table.
The Catalans have 24 points from their efforts, three more than second-placed Real Madrid, while they have scored 28 goals in La Liga this season, their best scoring record.
Barcelona were shocked by a 4-2 defeat to Osasuna at the end of September, but their response to that defeat was impressive, thrashing Young Boys 5-0 in the Champions League before winning 3-0 at Alaves in the league.
Lamine Yamal continues to be one of Barcelona's standout players this season, but Robert Lewandowski has been the main source of goals, with 10 in nine games in the Spanish top flight.
Barcelona are entering a big week, as they host Bayern Munich in the Champions League on Wednesday night before facing Real Madrid in El Clasico next weekend.
The Catalans have dominated recent encounters with Sevilla, winning each of their last five meetings, and they have not lost to Sunday's opponents in La Liga since October 2015.
Sevilla have actually only won once against Barcelona in the competition since March 2007, and have not beaten the Catalans away in La Liga since December 2002.
A poor 2023-24 season saw Los Nervionenses finish 14th, their lowest position since being relegated in 2000.
Under coach Garcia Pimienta, Sevilla have picked up 12 points from nine games this season and are currently 12th, 12 points behind their opponents on Sunday night.
Sevilla will come into this game in strong form, however, having picked up seven points from their last three games, including a 1-0 win over Real Betis in the Seville derby before the international break.
Sevilla have lost just one of their last five La Liga games, and they have also lost just one of their three away games this season, with draws against Las Palmas, Mallorca and Athletic Bilbao.
Barcelona have dominated this fixture throughout their history, and it's hard to imagine them not getting a point on Sunday night. Sevilla are an improving side, but Barcelona have been excellent in La Liga this season, and we think Flick's side will be able to claim a comfortable victory in this one.
