The next Barcelona match is upon us! The Blaugrana travel to Serbia for a huge Champions League game against Crvena Zvezda (or Red Star Belgrade), and Hansi Flick has called up the following 22 players for Wednesday’s clash:
Goalkeepers: 13. Iñaki Peña, 25. Wojciech Szczesny, 26. Ander Astraga
Defenders: 2. Pau Cubarsí, 3. Alejandro Balde, 5. Iñigo Martínez, 23. Jules Kounde, 32. Héctor Fort, 35. Gerard Martín, 36. Sergi Domínguez
Midfielders: 6. Gavi, 8. Pedri, 14. Pablo Torre, 16. Fermín López, 17. Marc Casadó, 20. Dani Olmo, 21. Frenkie de Jong
Forwards: 9. Robert Lewandowski, 10. Ansu Fati, 11. Raphinha, 18. Pau Victor, 19. Lamine Yamal
There are no new injuries after the game against Espanyol, so Flick is able to call upon the same squad for the trip to Belgrade. There are still key players missing, however, as Marc-André ter Stegen, Ferran Torres (hamstring), Andreas Christensen (Achilles), Eric García (groin) and Marc Bernal (knee) are all ruled out due to injury, while Ronald Araujo (hamstring) is back in training but still not medically cleared to play.
Predicted starting XI (4-3-3):
Peña; Kounde, Cubarsi, Inigo, Martin; Married, De Jong, Elm; Yamal, Lewandowski, Leaf
The match kicks off at 9pm CET/WAT (Barcelona & Nigeria), 8pm GMT (UK), 3pm ET, 12pm PT (USA), 1.30am IST (India, Thursday), and you can join us to follow and comment all the action.
LONG LIVE THE BARÇA!
