Official: Barcelona name squad to face Getafe

The squad of players called upon by Barcelona to face Getafe on Sunday evening has been unveiled online.

And it features, as expected, several altogether high-profile exclusions.

Barcelona are of course primed to return to action later today.

Fresh off a hard-fought opening day triumph in the Champions League in midweek, the Blaugrana have turned focus back towards matters on the domestic front.

A meeting with the aforementioned Getafe lies in wait, in Catalunya’s capital.

Barca head into the matchup aware that a three-point haul is something of a must, in efforts to keep pressure on arch rivals Real Madrid atop the Spanish top-flight.

As alluded to above, though, in efforts towards as much, Hansi Flick will be forced to make do without several leading members of his squad.

All of Marc-André ter Stegen, Alejandro Balde, Gavi and Lamine Yamal remain absent through injury.

Pau Cubarsí, on the other hand, following a fitness scare in midweek, has been called up.
