  • Barcelona manager Ernesto Valverde is faced with a selection dilemma despite a 4-1 advantage over Roma in their Champions League quarter-final clash.

    Sergio Busquets remains a doubt after limping off during the last-16 clash with Chelsea due to a fractured toe.

    The Spaniard trained last week but may not be fit in time to face the Italian side, meaning Paulinho is likely to partner Ivan Rakitic in central midfield.

    Ousmane Dembele may be selected out wide although Valverde could opt for Sergi Roberto.

    Meanwhile, Samuel Umtiti, Andres Iniesta and Jordi Alba are set to return to the starting XI after being rested during the 3-1 win over Leganes on Saturday.

    LIKELY LINE-UP: Ter Stegen; Roberto, Pique, Umtiti, Alba; Dembele, Rakitic, Busquets, Iniesta; Messi, Suarez
