The next Barcelona match is upon us! The Blaugrana welcome Atlético Madrid for a huge La Liga game at the Spotify Camp Nou, and Hansi Flick has called up the following 22 players for Tuesday’s clash:
Goalkeepers: 13. Joan Garcia, 25. Wojciech Szczesny, 31. Diego Kochen
Defenders: 3. Alejandro Balde, 5. Pau Cubarsí, 15. Andreas Christensen, 18. Gerard Martín, 23. Jules Kounde, 24. Eric Garcia, 26. Jofre Torrents
Midfielders: 8. Pedri, 17. Marc Casadó, 20. Dani Olmo, 22. Marc Bernal, 27. Dro Fernández, 43. Tommy Marqués
Forwards: 7. Ferran Torres, 9. Robert Lewandowski, 10. Lamine Yamal, 11. Raphinha, 14. Marcus Rashford, 28. Roony Bardghji
There’s a surprising last-minute absence on the list as Frenkie de Jong, who had returned to the team after missing out at the weekend for personal reasons, is ruled out for this one after waking up with a fever, according to reports. He’s one of five first team players not available tonight, along with the injured Fermín López (calf), Marc-André ter Stegen (back) and Gavi (knee), while Ronald Araujo remains away from the team to take care of his mental health.
Predicted starting XI (4-2-3-1):
Joan; Kounde, Cubarsí, Eric, Balde; Casadó, Pedri; Yamal, Olmo, Raphinha; Lewandowski
The match kicks off at 9pm CET/WAT (Barcelona & Nigeria), 8pm GMT (UK), 3pm ET, 12pm PT (USA), 1.30am IST (India, Wednesday), and you can join us to follow and comment all the action.
VISCA EL BARÇA!
