Head coach Luis Enrique faces defensive problems going into the Deportivo game as he will be without Aleix Vidal and Jeremy Mathieu.
Enrique will however, have Gerard Pique, Javier Mascherano and Samuel Umtiti available in defence.
Turkish international star Arda Turan will however, be available. The 30-year-old played the last 30 minutes against PSG in the Champions League after returning from an adductor injury which resulted in him missing five games in all competitions.
If Turan does feature he is likely to face his Turkish international teammate Emre Colak who has been in fine form for Deportivo this season.
Colak has three goals and eight assists in all competitions this season.

Enrique is likely to stick with the 3-4-3 setup which he implemented following the PSG defeat.
Barcelona have won all five games in all competitions since his formation change, scoring 21 times and conceding just four.
Barca are currently first in the league on goal difference ahead of Real Madrid. The Madrid based side do however, have a game in hand.
