Marc-Andre ter Stegen has recovered from a knee injury ahead of schedule but the German shotstopper is unlikely to oust Wojciech Szczesny between the sticks.
Alejandro Balde is a doubt for the home side, who are without Marc Bernal, Marc Casado and, crucially, Robert Lewandowski.
Ferran Torres is expected to lead the charge in the absence of Lewandowski, while Dani Olmo should feature behind the Spaniard in Hansi Flick's favoured 4-2-3-1 setup.
Internazionale Milano

Marcus Thuram is reportedly cleared fit to start for Inter in Barcelona.
Benjamin Pavard was forced off early on in the 1-0 loss to Roma at the weekend and misses out, with Yann Bisseck poised to deputise at the back.
Federico Dimarco is expected to start on the left, in place of Carlos Augusto who has enjoyed the starting berth in this competition.
Prediction

Barcelona

2 : 1

Internazionale Milano

Barcelona head into the first leg welcome of Inter with the wind in their sails following their Copa Del Rey win over Real Madrid at the weekend. The Blaugrana have lost just the once in 2025 in all competitions, though that did come in the Champions League at Borussia Dortmund earlier this month.
Inter sacrificed top spot in Serie A over the weekend as the Nerazzurri fell to a 1-0 loss to Roma. The Italian side travel to Spain having failed to win in four and have lost their last three competitive outings, which includes a 3-0 Coppa Italia mauling at the hands of rivals AC Milan.
Flick will demand full focus from his players following their Clasico triumph over Real Madrid as they push for the treble, and they may just maximise home advantage to claim a narrow first leg win this week.
