The next Barcelona match is upon us! The Blaugrana play an important La Liga home game against Rayo Vallecano at Camp Nou, and Hansi Flick has called up the following 23 players for Sunday’s clash:
Goalkeepers: 13. Joan Garcia, 25. Wojciech Szczesny, 31. Diego Kochen
Defenders: 2. João Cancelo, 4. Ronald Araujo, 5. Pau Cubarsí, 18. Gerard Martín, 24. Eric Garcia, 36. Álvaro Cortés, 42. Xavi Espart
Midfielders: 6. Gavi, 8. Pedri, 16. Fermín López, 17. Marc Casadó, 20. Dani Olmo, 22. Marc Bernal, 43.
Tommy Marqués
Forwards: 7. Ferran Torres, 9. Robert Lewandowski, 10. Lamine Yamal, 11. Raphinha, 14. Marcus Rashford, 19. Roony Bardghji
There are no fresh injury concerns after the win over Newcastle as both Joan Garcia and Eric Garcia got over their scares in midweek, so Flick is able to call up the same 23 players from Wednesday and the list of absentees remains the same as Alejandro Balde (hamstring), Jules Kounde (hamstring), Frenkie de Jong (hamstring) and Andreas Christensen (knee) are ruled out due to injury.
Predicted starting XI (4-2-3-1):
Joan; Espart, Cubarsí, Martín, Cancelo; Bernal, Pedri; Yamal, Fermín, Raphinha; Lewandowski
The match kicks off at 2pm CET/WAT (Barcelona & Nigeria), 1pm GMT (UK), 9am ET, 6am PT (USA), 6.30pm IST (India), and you can join us to follow and comment all the action.
VISCA EL BARÇA!
