FC Barcelona landed in Italy today for pre-season triangular tournament featuring Udinese and Nottingham Forest.
In their first game of the evening, the La Liga champions face off against the Premier League, with the starting lineup for the match now being announced.
Adeyemi starts
For the second game in a row, summer signing Karim Adeyemi has been named in the starting lineup by manager Hansi Flick.
The German international starts as part of the attacking unit that also features teenage striker Hamza Abdelkarim, who scored twice against Birmingham City in the last friendly.
Meanwhile, one of the captains, Raphinha, also starts, having successfully recovered fully from the injury he sustained during the World Cup with Brazil.
Fermin Lopez, who has also recovered from his foot injury and trained normally for a week, also gets the nod to start in the No. 10 position.
Marc Bernal and Brian Farinas feature in the double pivot, completing an all La Masia midfield unit.
In defence, academy talents Xavi Espart and Jordi Pesquer take up the full-back positions while Andreas Christensen and Gerard Martin slot in as the centre-backs. Wojciech Szczesny features in goal for the Catalans.
