"The big news for this one is the return of Pedri, who comes back to the matchday squad after missing a month with a hamstring injury, but the good news stops there: Frenkie de Jong is a last-second absentee due to personal reasons, according to reports, Fermín López is ruled out for a couple of weeks with a calf issue"
"and Ronald Araujo also misses out due to a stomatch virus, and they join Marc-André ter Stegen (back) and Gavi (knee) on the list of absentees for this one. The lack of numbers in midfield means a first call-up for promising La Masia midfielder Tommy Marqués, who has been training for several weeks with the first team and gets his first chance today."
Barcelona name a 22-player squad for the La Liga match against Deportivo Alavés at the Spotify Camp Nou. Pedri returns to the matchday squad after missing a month with a hamstring injury. Frenkie de Jong is absent for personal reasons; Fermín López is sidelined for a couple of weeks with a calf issue, and Ronald Araujo misses out with a stomach virus. Marc-André ter Stegen and Gavi are also unavailable. The shortage in midfield produces a first senior call-up for La Masia midfielder Tommy Marqués. A predicted 4-2-3-1 XI lists Joan; Eric, Cubarsí, Martín, Balde; Casadó, Bernal; Yamal, Olmo, Raphinha; Lewandowski, with kickoff times at 16:15 CET/WAT, 15:15 GMT and 10:15 ET.
