The Netherlands internaional is set to make his Camp Nou bow while Lionel Messi and Andres Iniesta have both been named in the matchday squad
Jasper Cillessen is set to make his Barcelona debut on Saturday against Alaves after Marc-Andre ter Stegen suffered an injury during training.
Cillessen joined the LaLiga champions from Ajax shortly before the closure of the transfer window, replacing Claudio Bravo, who moved to Manchester City.
The Netherlands international is expected to get his chance in goal after Ter Stegen sustained a hamstring injury, which meant he was not named in Luis Enrique's match squad on Saturday morning.
Jordi Masip is the other goalkeeping option available to the Barcelona boss.
Lionel Messi is included after aggravating a groin complaint while playing for Argentina, while Portugal midfielder Andre Gomes has shaken off a muscular problem sustained during the international break.
