Barcelona’s official travelling squad for the club’s upcoming meeting with Celta Vigo has this evening been unveiled.
Xavi’s troops, of course, are set to make the trip to Balaídos on Saturday evening, with sights set on a return to winning ways.
This comes with Barca fresh off an alarming result last weekend, which saw them forced to battle back to secure just a share of the spoils in a 3-3 stalemate with relegation-battling Granada.
This time out, though, boss Xavi will have another two high-profile players at his disposal.
The stars in question? Vitor Roque, and Oriol Romeu.
Frontman Roque was forced to sit out against Granada owing to a one-game suspension, whilst midfielder Romeu was unavailable due to injury.
Both, though, have been named in Barcelona’s matchday squad for Saturday.
On the other hand, no fewer than six members of Xavi’s ranks are in line to miss out against Celta.
Five will come as little surprise, in the form of long-term injury concerns Gavi, Marcos Alonso, and Alejandro Balde, alongside more recent absentees Ferran Torres, and João Félix.
And, despite having been expected to recover in time to take his place in the travelling squad bound for Galicia, Blaugrana captain Sergi Roberto, too, remains sidelined:
