The next Barcelona match is upon us! The Blaugrana play a huge Champions League league phase finale against Copenhagen at Camp Nou, and Hansi Flick has called up the following 21 players for Wednesday’s
game:
Goalkeepers: 13. Joan Garcia, 25. Wojciech Szczesny, 31. Diego Kochen
Defenders: 3. Alejandro Balde, 4. Ronald Araujo, 5. Pau Cubarsí, 18. Gerard Martín, 23. Jules Kounde, 24. Eric Garcia, 26. Jofre Torrents
Midfielders: 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, 28. Roony Bardghji
The big news for this one is the return of Ferran Torres, who is back after missing the last two games with a hamstring issue, and his return is crucial to boost a Barça squad missing two key pieces in the suspended Frenkie de Jong and the injured Pedri (hamstring), while Gavi (knee) and Andreas Christensen (knee) are also ruled out with long-term injuries.
Predicted starting XI (4-3-3):
Joan; Kounde, Cubarsí, Martín, Balde; Fermín, Eric, Olmo; Yamal, Lewandowski, Raphinha
The match kicks off at 9pm CET/WAT (Barcelona & Nigeria), 8pm GMT (UK), 3pm ET, 12pm PT (USA), 1.30am IST (India, Thursday), and you can join us to follow and comment all the action.
VISCA EL BARÇA!
