Dani Alves fit to face Valencia, but Andres Iniesta not included in Barcelona squad

Dani Alves fit to face Valencia, but Andres Iniesta not included in Barcelona squad

Dani Alves has been given the medical clear and is available to play for Barcelona on Saturday afternoon against Valencia. 

However, Andres Iniesta has been ruled out after picking up an injury against Paris Saint-Germain. 

Valencia will provide a stern test for Luis Enrique's side at Camp Nou, with dropped points not an option after last week's draw against Sevilla. 

As well as Iniesta, Thomas Vermaelen is also missing through injury.

With Alves's return, though, Luis Enrique does have everyone else at his disposal. 

Martin Montoya, despite starting in Paris, will watch the game from the stands, as will Douglas, as neither have been included in the squad. 

Here are the 18 players called up by Luis Enrique: 

Ter Stegen, Claudio Bravo, Pique, Rakitic, Sergio, Xavi, Pedro, Suarez, Messi, Neymar, Rafinha, Mascherano, Bartra, Jordi Alba, Sergi Roberto, Adriano, Dani Alves, Jeremy Mathieu.
