With Lionel Messi still sidelined, it is the turn of the young striker to feature for the Catalans as Luis Enrique's side seek qualification for the Champions League second round.
Barcelona and BATE Borisov meet for the second time in the Champions League this season on Wednesday night as the champions look to seal their passage to the knockout phase of the continental competition with a win in the Camp Nou clash.
The Catalans currently top Group E with seven points from their three games, with BATE in third with three points.
The two teams met in Belarus recently, when a a double from substitute Ivan Rakitic gave Barca a victory in what was a tougher test than had been expected in the absence of Lionel Messi.
