Official: Barcelona name squad for Spanish Super Cup

The squad of players called upon by La Liga giants Barcelona for the upcoming Supercopa de España has on Monday been unveiled online.

And it features several noteworthy inclusions.

The most headline-grabbing comes at the back, where Ronald Araújo has been restored to Hansi Flick’s squad after a lengthy spell away dealing with his mental health.

Also called to make the trip to Saudi Arabia are youngsters Jofre Torrents, Pedro ‘Dro’ Fernández, and Tommy Marqués.

Barcelona are primed to kick their Super Cup endeavours into gear on Wednesday evening, in a meeting with La Liga rivals Athletic Club.

Should the reigning holders advance beyond former manager Ernesto Valverde’s Athletic, a meeting with the winners of the competition’s other semi-final lies in wait.

As much will be contested by Spanish football’s two capital heavyweights, Atlético and Real Madrid, a day later on Thursday.
