The Blaugrana travel to Mestalla for a La Liga game against Valencia, and Hansi Flick has called up the following 24 players for Sunday\u2019s clash:<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Goalkeepers: 1. Joan Garcia, 13. Wojciech Szczesny, 25. Dominik Livakovic<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Defenders: 2. Jo\u00e3o Cancelo, 3. Alejandro Balde, 5. Pau Cubars\u00ed, 12. Xavi Espart, 15. Andreas Christensen, 18. Gerard Mart\u00edn, 23. Jules Kounde, 24. Eric Garcia<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Midfielders: 4. Brian Fari\u00f1as, 6. Gavi, 7. Ferm\u00edn L\u00f3pez, 8. Pedri, 16. Rodri, 20. Dani Olmo, 22. Marc Bernal<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Forwards: 9. Gabriel Jesus, 10. Lamine Yamal, 11. Raphinha, 14. Karim Adeyemi, 17. Anthony Gordon, 29. Hamza Abdelkarim<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">The big news for this one is a first call-up for new signing Gabriel Jesus, who is expected to make his debut in the second half today. Gavi is also back after missing the last two games with a knee issue, while Frenkie de Jong (knee) and Roony Bardghji (knee) miss out through injury.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">There are 24 players on the list but only 23 can be in uniform, so Flick will leave one player out of the final squad. Lamine Yamal is currently a doubt with a knock, but we won\u2019t know the final cut until the lineups are announced.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Predicted starting XI (4-3-3):<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Joan; Eric, Cubars\u00ed, Mart\u00edn, Espart; Ferm\u00edn, Rodri, Pedri; Adeyemi, Raphinha, Gordon<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">The match kicks off at 4.15pm CET (Barcelona), 3.15pm BST\/WAT (UK &amp; Nigeria), 10.15am ET, 7.15am PT (USA), 7.45pm IST (India), and you can join us to follow and comment all the action.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The next Barcelona match is upon us!
