Official: Barcelona squad list to face Deportivo Alaves | La Liga GW9

Barcelona will lock horns with Deportivo Alaves away at the Mendizorroza Stadium tomorrow, hoping to enter into the international break with a healthy lead in the La Liga standings.

Ahead of their trip to Vitoria, manager Hansi Flick has announced the squad list of players who will be at his disposal for tomorrow’s match.

Frenkie de Jong makes the squad list for the first time in La Liga after over five months. Having played his first minutes of the season in midweek, the Dutchman will be aiming to continue working his way back to full match fitness.

Contrary to recent reports, new signing Wojciech Szczesny has not been included in the travelling squad, even though the Pole has shown good fitness levels in early training.

Marc-Andre ter Stegen, Gavi, Ronald Araujo, Andreas Christensen, Marc Bernal, Fermin Lopez, and Dani Olmo are the other absentees.

Youngsters Aron Yaakobishvili, Sergi Dominguez, Hector Fort, Ander Astralaga, and Gerard Martin all feature. But the likes of Andres Cuenca, Toni Fernandez, and Guille Fernandez have been released to play for the reserves.
