Barça boss Luis Enrique also takes B team centre-back Marlon Santos, who has started the last two games against Eibar and Las Palmas. Despite having Pique and Mascherano back, Luis Enrique wanted to reward the player for his excellent performances in the last two weeks.
The full squad, therefore, is: Ter Stegen, Cillessen, Masip, Pique, Ivan Rakitic, Sergio Busquets, Denis Suarez, Arda Turan, Andres Iniesta, Messi, Neymar Jr, Mascherano, Paco Alcacer, Jordi Alba, Digne, Andre Gomes, Aleix Vidal, Umtiti and Marlon, as well as injured Rafinha and Mathieu and suspended Luis Suarez and Sergi Roberto.
