"Barcelona have announced their squad that will travel to Stamford Bridge this midweek, as they take on Chelsea tomorrow. It is a must-win game for a Catalan side coming on the back of a 3-3 draw with Olympiacos in the last round. Fortunately for Hansi Flick's men, the club are slowly starting to retrieve the injured players, with Joan Garcia notably making a heroic comeback this past weekend."
"Raphinha also featured as a substitute, and the Brazilian international will travel with the team for the Chelsea clash. The biggest news is the return of Marcus Rashford, who has been cleared fit to play. The Englishman's knowledge of Chelsea could serve as a major boost for Barcelona. While Rashford was able to make the list, Pedri missed out as expected. However, the Spaniard will reportedly travel with the team to London and will celebrate his birthday on Tuesday."
"Pedri's absence from the game, though, will be a blow for Barcelona, especially against a team like Chelsea. Unless, of course, Marc Casado can once again produce a brilliant display, as he did in the recent win over Athletic Club. There aren't too many changes elsewhere, with Flick now having more options at his disposal than he did at the start of the month."
