The next Barcelona match is upon us! The Blaugrana play a must-win La Liga game against Catalan rivals Girona at Montilivi, and Hansi Flick has called up the following 21 players for Monday’s clash:
Goalkeepers: 13. Joan Garcia, 25. Wojciech Szczesny, 31. Diego Kochen
Defenders: 2. João Cancelo, 3. Alejandro Balde, 4. Ronald Araujo, 5. Pau Cubarsí, 18. Gerard Martín, 23. Jules Kounde, 24. Eric Garcia
Midfielders: 16. Fermín López, 17. Marc Casadó, 20. Dani Olmo, 21. Frenkie de Jong, 22. Marc Bernal, 43. Tommy Marqués
Forwards: 7. Ferran Torres, 9. Robert Lewandowski, 10. Lamine Yamal, 11. Raphinha, 19. Roony Bardghji
Barça get one of their best players back for this one as Raphinha returns after missing three games with an adductor injury, but the good news stops there as Marcus Rashford hasn’t recovered from a knee issue yet and misses out along with Pedri (hamstring), Gavi (knee) and Andreas Christensen (knee).
Predicted starting XI (4-2-3-1):
Joan; Kounde, Cubarsí, Eric, Balde; De Jong, Bernal; Yamal, Fermín, Ferran; Lewandowski
The match kicks off at 9pm CET/WAT (Barcelona & Nigeria), 8pm GMT (UK), 3pm ET, 12pm PT (USA), 1.30am IST (India, Tuesday), and you can join us to follow and comment all the action.
VISCA EL BARÇA!
