FC Barcelona's new acquisition, Rodri, is set to make his first appearance for the club on Thursday against Athletic Club during their La Liga home debut.

In defense, Joan Garcia will guard the goal, Xavi Espart will play at left-back, and Eric Garcia will be at right-back. Gerard Martin and Andreas Christensen are set to form the center-back pairing, with Pau Cubarsi traveling but not yet ready to start. This match marks the beginning of a busy period with two home games scheduled within five days, the next being against Rayo Vallecano.
