The next Barcelona match is upon us! The Blaugrana make their debut in this season’s Copa del Rey with a Round of 32 tie against third tier Guadalajara, and Hansi Flick has called up the following 23 players for Tuesday’s game:
Goalkeepers: 1. Marc-André ter Stegen, 13. Joan Garcia, 25. Wojciech Szczesny
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, 16. Fermín López, 17. Marc Casadó, 21. Frenkie de Jong, 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 are no fresh injury concerns after the weekend win over Osasuna so Flick is able to call upon the same squad that was in uniform on Saturday, and Wojciech Szczesny is back after missing out in the last game with a stomach bug. That means only Dani Olmo (shoulder) and Gavi (knee) miss out through injury, while Ronald Araujo remains away from the team for mental health reasons.
Predicted starting XI (4-2-3-1):
Szczesny; Eric, Cubarsí, Christensen, Jofre; Casadó, De Jong; Roony, Fermín, Dro; Ferran
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!
