Barça squad named for Valladolid
Hansi Flick has called up 23 players for Saturday’s clash
The next Barcelona match is upon us! The Blaugrana play a huge La Liga road game against Real Valladolid, and Hansi Flick has called up the following 23 players for Saturday’s clash:
Goalkeepers: 1. Marc-André ter Stegen, 13. Iñaki Peña, 25. Wojciech Szczesny
Defenders: 2. Pau Cubarsí, 4. Ronald Araujo, 5. Iñigo Martínez, 15. Andreas Christensen, 24. Eric García, 32. Héctor Fort, 35. Gerard Martín, 44. Landry Farré
Midfielders: 6. Gavi, 8. Pedri, 16. Fermín López, 20. Dani Olmo, 21. Frenkie de Jong, 34. Noah Darvich
Forwards: 7. Ferran Torres, 10. Ansu Fati, 11. Raphinha, 18. Pau Vìctor, 19. Lamine Yamal, 46. Dani Rodríguez
Barça’s squad arrives at the final month of the season hanging by a thread from a fitness standpoint, with yet another key starter injured in midweek against Inter Milan as Jules Kounde is expected to miss three weeks with a hamstring injury. Pablo Torre is also out with a knee issue according to the club and joins Kounde and Marc Bernal (knee) on the list of long-term injury absences, while Alejandro Balde (hamstring), Robert Lewandowski (hamstring) and Marc Casadó (knee) are all back in training but still awaiting their medical clearance.
The lack of depth due to injuries has forced Flick to look to La Masia, with left-back Landry Farré and winger Dani Rodríguez getting their debut first team call-up and midfielder Noah Darvich making the squad for a second time this season.
Predicted starting XI (4-2-3-1):
Ter Stegen; Fort, Araujo, Christensen, Martín; De Jong, Gavi; Víctor, Fermín, Fati; Ferran
The match kicks off at 9pm CET (Barcelona), 8pm BST/WAT (UK & Nigeria), 3pm ET, 12pm PT (USA), 12.30am IST (India, Sunday), and you can join us to follow and comment all the action.
VISCA EL BARÇA!
