FC Barcelona projected starting lineup vs Rayo Vallecano: Could Rodri start?

The World Cup Golden Ball winner made his FC Barcelona debut last week, but could he make Hansi Flick's starting lineup Monday?

FC Barcelona kicks off the La Liga season with high expectations, following recent impressive wins against Elche and Athletic. Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid have also started with perfect records, while Alavés sits at seven points. The focus remains on a win for Barcelona, and their projected starting lineup against Rayo Vallecano could include Rodri.

Despite facing some discomfort from his recent performance, Rodri remains a key player for the defending champions. If fully fit, he might feature in the starting XI for the match against Rayo Vallecano on August 31. The lineup is expected to feature Joan Garcia in goal, with Eric Garcia, Pau Cubarsi, Gerard Martin, and Joao Cancelo in defense. In the midfield, Marc Bernal and Pedri are likely to be key players, while Lamine Yamal, Fermín López, and Anthony Gordon will form the forward line.
