Vitor Roque in: Barca’s best XI for US tour

Barcelona will be heading to the United States for the pre-season tour in the coming days already.

Some Barca players, like Lamine Yamal, have received extra rest while some others will be out through injuries.

Here is one of the best XIs Hansi Flick could have at his disposal.

Marc-Andre ter Stegen and Jules Kounde have decided to cut their vacation short and join the team in the tour, so we expect them to start some games.

Alejandro Balde is yet to fully recover from his serious injury, so Hector Fort (or Mikayil Faye actually) could start at left-back.

Things are quite difficult with the midfield as Pedri, Gavi and Frenkie de Jong are all sidelined. Ex-Barca Atletic captain Marc Casado could start alongside Oriol Romeu, with Ilkay Gundogan as an attacking midfielder. Marc Bernal, who has just signed a new deal with Blaugrana, is another option for the defensive midfield.

Up front, the trio of Raphinha, Robert Lewandowski and Vitor Roque is quite likely to start.

Barcelona face Manchester City, Real Madrid and Milan in the pre-season tour.
