Racing Santander v Barcelona | Live La Liga Football

Racing Santander play the former Champions Barca on Sunday evening.

Racing have lost several players over the summer, but can at least be thankful for the fact that they are essentially injury-free. Pedro Munitis could start alone up front despite his less than prolific form last season - he was more of a supporting player - but will receive backup courtesy of a trio of attacking midfielders.

FC Barcelona 1st team are suffering some several injuries.
With Puyol (knee), Milito (suspension) and Edmilson (knee) all unavailable, Rijkaard will probably hand the centre back positions to Marquez and Thuram, who looks like being fit after an injury worry. Abidal and Toure should be given competitive debuts while in attack Henry may be on the bench with Ronaldinho, Eto’o and Messi poised to start. Dos Santos is still waiting to receive his Spanish passport so won’t make the squad.
