Xavi 'could move Adama Traore into right wing back and Ferran Torres out wide to make space for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to play as the No 9' as Barcelona's new arrival edges closer to making his full debut after Arsenal exit

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang could be set to make his first start for Barcelona since his switch from Arsenal in the January window.

The forward joined the Catalan side on a free transfer on deadline day after being stripped of the captaincy at Arsenal and frozen out following a breach of discipline by Mikel Arteta.

The Gabon international donned the Blaugrana for the first time at the weekend as he came of the bench during Barcelona's 4-2 triumph over LaLiga rivals Atletico Madrid.
