Barcelona's Raphinha and Ronald Araujo and Osasuna's Enzo Boyomo will likely miss the game due to their international commitments.

Barcelona saw their La Liga match with Osasuna called off at late notice on March 8. The decision was appropriate following a bereavement for the Catalan club earlier that day, but it meant some difficulty in finding a suitable time slot for the fixture.

On matchweek 28, Kylian Mbappe's brace led Real Madrid to a gutsy comeback win over Villareal to keep the pace at the top. But the most significant result came a day later, as Barcelona came back from a two goal deficit to defeat title rivals Atlético Madrid.
