FC Barcelona squad named for La Liga match against Villarreal - Barca Blaugranes

The next Barcelona match is upon us! The Blaugrana play a huge La Liga home game against Villarreal at Camp Nou, and Hansi Flick has called up the following 21 players for Saturday’s clash:

Goalkeepers: 13. Joan Garcia, 25. Wojciech Szczesny, 33. Eder Aller

Defenders: 2. João Cancelo, 3. Alejandro Balde, 4. Ronald Araujo, 5. Pau Cubarsí, 23. Jules Kounde, 24. Eric Garcia

Midfielders: 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’s some really bad news for this one as Frenkie de Jong has been ruled for five to six weeks with a hamstring injury picked up in training, and Gerard Martín is also unavailable on Saturday due to suspension. Gavi (knee) is back in training but still awaiting his clearance, while Andreas Christensen (knee) remains sidelined with a long-term injury.

Joan; Kounde, Cubarsí, Eric, Cancelo; Bernal, Pedri; Yamal, Fermín, Raphinha; Ferran

The match kicks off at 4.15pm CET/WAT (Barcelona & Nigeria), 3.15pm GMT (UK), 10.15am ET, 7.15am PT (USA), 8.45pm IST (India), and you can join us to follow and comment all the action.
