Catalan sports paper El Mundo Deportivo claims that Barcelona manager Guardiola has almost the team in place that will play the qualifying round for this season's Champions League.
With still some doubts on three positions, this would be the eleven that will face Beitar Jerusalem or Wisła Kraków next week:
Valdés
Alves
Márquez (or Piqué)
Puyol
Abidal
Xavi
Touré
Keita
Hleb (or Pedro)
Henry (or Bojan)
Iniesta

Whichever team will play, they shoudl qualify, there's no excuse possible.
But for the Liga and the rest of the CL, I think this team lacks scoring, so if Eto'o doesn't stay, they definitely need to buy some more goal both at centre forward and left wing.
I dont think they should put Iniesta on left wing, Bojan-Henry-Hleb would be better i think.
please put Eto'o in for Henry....
They don't want to play Eto'o because he would be cup-tied if he leaves this summer and joins another team in/qualifying for the Champsion's League
The game should not be dfficult, however there is a real lack of a goalscoring threat. With Messi missing and Barcelona still without a starting left-wing forward it really exposes that fact
Pep, what do you think, can barca buy any player this season?
I would say one if Eto'o stays and two if not.
I think Pep plugging Iniesta into that left wing position is born more out of necessity than invention. I still believe Iniesta's better suited as a backup in an attacking midfielder role. He and Xavi just don't connect well together. So I wouldn't be the least bit suprised to see him in the role of Xavi's backup or even start a few games and allow Xavi a "breather" to come off the bench himself once the schedule get's more compacted.
The last game Iniesta played at the left wing is not very effective. Jeffren also needs to improve more. If Pedro can play in that position I think its better to try him. And the forward line gonna be:
Pedro--Henry/Bojan--Hleb
Does anybody know when the first leg will be the 12th or the 13th? and does anybody know if the 1st leg will be in Barcelona for sure and when will the club sell tickets please let me know I apreciate your help.

Nothing is sure yet. Barcelona is trying to change the tie, so they can play first away.
