Official: Barcelona squad list to face Rayo Vallecano

Barcelona will have the opportunity to seal second place in the league table as they take on Rayo Vallecano later this afternoon.

Heading into this game, Barcelona have announced their final squad that will take on Rayo Vallecano at home.

The return of Ronald Araujo is the major highlight, with the defender apparently recovering from his fitness woes that left him out of the Almeria game.

Barcelona have also been boosted by the return of Ilkay Gundogan, who was serving a one-match suspension in midweek, due to the accumulation of yellow cards.

Given the importance of three points, Barcelona coach Xavi Hernandez is likely to field a strong starting eleven, even though the Spaniard has a few young players at his disposal.

The spotlight will also be on players like Joao Felix, Inigo Martinez, Robert Lewandowski and even Araujo, as some of them could be playing their last match at home for Barcelona.
