After starting the season with the full squad available, the past week has given

boss Xavi plenty of fitness concerns as he has lost three of his key players during the international break.

The club confirmed their summer signing,

Barcelona will face Inter twice and Bayern Munich once in the Champions League while they will have to face their arch-rivals

Real Madrid

in La Liga next month, with other tricky league clashes against Villarreal, Athletic Bilbao, and Valencia.
