Barcelona take on Getafe in La Liga matchday 8 with coach Hansi Flick rotating his squad, resting two regular starters and adjusting the lineup from recent fixtures. Jules Kounde is pushing to reclaim a starting spot after Eric Garcia started at full-back for a run of games.
Off the pitch, Chelsea are being linked with midfielder Frenkie de Jong. Liverpool are also said to be chasing an out-of-favour Barcelona defender, with reports putting the asking price at around 60 million pounds.
