FC Barcelona will get back to action this weekend, facing Getafe on Week 6 of La Liga, despite the club has only played three games, with a result of two wins and a draw. Before the game of this Saturday, head coach Ronald Koeman talked and gave some hints of who are going to be the players starting the match.

After the international break, there will be some absence but Koeman assured that it will be the first time for Sergiño Dest from the very beggining of the game. Dest make his debut for Barcelona against Sevilla on October 4, playing 15 minutes. But now, it will be the first time for him to start.

The U.S. player was formed in Ajax academy and Barcelona signed him on October of this year for more than $21 million, being him the first U.S. player in the clubs' history. There is too much expectation on his level and Barcelona gave him a contract until 2025.

Barcelona will be heading a very difficult end of the month, as after meeting Getafe they will play against Ferencvaron, in their Champions League debut on October 20, against Real Madrid, on October 24, and against Juventus, on October 28.
