Philippe Coutinho and Ansu Fati are both expected to return to the Barcelona starting XI for Tuesday’s Champions League group-stage tie with Ferencvaros. The duo dropped to the bench for Saturday’s defeat to Getafe in La Liga but both appeared as second-half substitutes at the Coliseum Alfonso Perez.

There are likely to be more changes for the game too. Midfielder Miralem Pjanic is set to make his first Barcelona start at the expense of Sergio Busquets, while Antoine Griezmann and Sergi Roberto could also drop out.

By Alexandra Olson | The Associated Press The coronavirus pandemic has put millions of Americans out of work. But many of those still working are fearful, distressed and stretched thin.
