Barcelona’s defensive problems continue ahead of Sevilla clash

Barcelona take on Sevilla next in La Liga and will have to field an unfamiliar looking defence for Sunday’s visit from Julen Lopetegui’s side.

Clement Lenglet is suspended for the clash which gives Jean-Clair Todibo the chance to shine in central defence alongside Gerard Pique.

Samuel Umtiti remains on the sidelines so Barcelona B defender Ronald Araújo may find himself on the bench for the clash after being called into first-team training this week.

In the full-back slots Jordi Alba and Junior Firpo were still not back in training on Thursday which suggests they will once again be absent from Ernesto Valverde’s starting XI.
