Striker Lucas Boye: Already-crowned La Liga champions FC Barcelona will travel to face Deportivo Alavés on Wednesday in a crucial match at the bottom end of the table. While Barcelona have already secured the league title, Alaves are desperately fighting to avoid relegation.

Alaves currently sit third from bottom in the standings and are two points behind 17th-placed RCD Espanyol. A defeat or even a draw could leave them stuck in the relegation zone at the end of the round, making this a must-win game for the home side.

The match at Mendizorroza Stadium has already sold out, showing how important the game is for the Alaves supporters. However, the home team has injury concerns ahead of the contest. Striker Lucas Boye will miss the match because of a hamstring injury, while leading scorer Toni Martinez is doubtful after picking up a physical problem during the weekend draw against Elche.
