Who'll play left-back v Barbastro with Balde, Cancelo, Alonso out?

Barcelona will be without left-backs against Barbastro today. Alex Balde pulled out of the squad with illness, Joao Cancelo and Marcos Alonso are injured.

According to Diario Sport journalist Toni Juanmarti, Barca Athletic's Hector Fort will start on the left-hand side of defence today.

The 17-year-old is not a left-back, either; his natural position is that of a right-back. However, he'll have to switch sides this time.

Born and raised in Barcelona, Fort has made 11 appearances for Barca B this season. He's already made a senior debut for the club, featuring off the bench against Royal Antwerp in a 3-2 defeat. Fort started the game and played for an hour.
