"The next Barcelona match is upon us! The Blaugrana welcome Greek champions Olympiacos to Montjuïc for an important Champions League game, and Hansi Flick has called up the following 23 players for Tuesday's clash: Goalkeepers: 25. Wojciech Szczesny, 31. Diego Kochen, 33. Eder Aller Defenders: 3. Alejandro Balde, 4. Ronald Araujo, 5. Pau Cubarsí, 18. Gerard Martín, 23. Jules Kounde, 24. Eric Garcia, 26. Jofre Torrents, 42. Xavi Espart"
"The surprising news for this one is the return of Ferran Torres, who is fit enough to make the squad despite expectation he would miss out with a hamstring issue. There is some bad news, however, as Andreas Christensen is ruled out with a gastrointestinal problem and cannot make the squad. Along with the Dane, Raphinha (hamstring), Dani Olmo (calf), Robert Lewandowski (hamstring), Joan Garcia (knee), Marc-André ter Stegen (back) and Gavi (knee) are all ruled out due to injury."
Barcelona host Greek champions Olympiacos at Montjuïc in a Champions League fixture with a 23-player squad selected by Hansi Flick. The squad features goalkeepers Wojciech Szczesny, Diego Kochen and Eder Aller; defenders Alejandro Balde, Ronald Araujo, Pau Cubarsí, Gerard Martín, Jules Kounde, Eric Garcia, Jofre Torrents and Xavi Espart; midfielders Pedri, Fermín López, Marc Casadó, Frenkie de Jong, Marc Bernal and Dro Fernández; and forwards Ferran Torres, Lamine Yamal, Marcus Rashford, Roony Bardghji, Toni Fernández and Juan Hernández. Ferran Torres returns despite a recent hamstring concern. Several regulars are unavailable through injury, including Andreas Christensen, Raphinha, Dani Olmo, Robert Lewandowski, Joan Garcia, Marc-André ter Stegen and Gavi. The predicted starting XI uses a 4-3-3 with Szczesny in goal. Kick-off times are provided across multiple time zones.
