3 IN, 1 OUT: BARCELONA NAME SQUAD FOR LAS PALMAS CLASH

La Liga giants Barcelona have this afternoon unveiled the club’s latest matchday squad.

As much, of course, comes ahead of the Blaugrana’s imminent return to action.

After welcoming the club’s star performers back from the final international break of the season this week, Xavi and his staff will guide Barca into a La Liga meeting with Las Palmas on Saturday night.

An eventual victory would see the Catalans close the gap on table-topping arch rivals Real Madrid, at least temporarily, to just five points.

So, just who will be responsible for leading the charge towards as much later tonight?

As alluded to above, as much was made official a short time ago.

In a post across the club’s website and social media platforms, Barcelona announced a 23-man panel of stars, including a pair of injury returnees, in the form of Ferran Torres, and Marcos Alonso.

Also called up is up-and-coming defender Mika Faye, who could well be afforded his senior bow amid a fine recent stretch of individual form.

On the other hand, long-term absentees Gavi, Pedri and Frenkie de Jong will all miss out, as will Andreas Christensen, amid the Dane’s ongoing efforts to recover from an Achilles issue.
