Hansi Flick has called up 24 players for Sunday’s clash
Barcelona has announced its 24-man squad for the upcoming La Liga match against Valencia. The team, led by coach Hansi Flick, includes a mix of experienced players and fresh talent. Goalkeeper options feature Joan Garcia, Wojciech Szczesny, and Dominik Livakovic. In defense, João Cancelo, Alejandro Balde, Pau Cubarsí, Xavi Espart, Andreas Christensen, Gerard Martín, Jules Kounde, and Eric Garcia are named.
Midfielders like Brian Fariñas, Gavi, Fermín López, Pedri, Rodri, Dani Olmo, and Marc Bernal make up the midfield options. Up front, Gabriel Jesus, Lamine Yamal, Raphinha, Karim Adeyemi, Anthony Gordon, and Hamza Abdelkarim are set to start. The big addition to the squad is Gabriel Jesus, who is expected to make his debut this match.
Gavi returns after missing recent games due to a knee injury, while Frenkie de Jong and Roony Bardghji are absent through injury. With 24 players on the list, Flick will have to make a decision on which player to leave out of the final 23. Lamine Yamal is currently in doubt due to a knock, but the final lineup will be announced closer to the match time of 4.15pm CET.
