Official: Barcelona squad list to face Young Boys – Frenkie de Jong returns

Barcelona will square off against Swiss club Young Boys later tonight on Matchday 2 of the 2024/25 UEFA Champions League.

Having lost their first game of the League Phase against AS Monaco, the Blaugrana will be aiming to get their first win in Europe under new manager Hansi Flick.

Ahead of the contest at the Montjuic Stadium, the Barcelona manager has announced the squad list of players who will be at his disposal for tonight.

And, midfield superstar Frenkie de Jong makes his long-awaited return after spending more than five months out on the sidelines due to an ankle injury.

The 27-year-old has been given the green light from the medical department and could even get some minutes tonight against Young Boys.

Eric Garcia misses out due to suspension while Gavi, Fermin Lopez, Dani Olmo, Marc-Andre ter Stegen, Ronald Araujo, and Andreas Christensen are all out injured.

Meanwhile, Flick continues to call upon youngsters Guille Fernandez, Toni Fernandez, Sergi Dominguez, Aron Yaakobishvili, Andres Cuenca, and Gerard Martin.
