✅ Barça squad to face Racing: Ter Stegen and Cancelo included | OneFootball

Hansi Flick has already defined his plan of attack for the Copa del Rey Round of 16. The German coach has officially announced the FC Barcelona squad to face Real Racing Club of Santander this January 15.

In a list balanced between first-team stars and academy gems, the Blaugrana side will look to secure their place in the next round in what is always a challenging venue like El Sardinero.

The big news on the list is, without a doubt, the presence of Marc-André ter Stegen. The German goalkeeper is traveling with the squad despite intense rumors circulating in recent hours about his possible departure in this winter transfer window.

Additionally, Joao Cancelo is also included in the squad list. The Portuguese player could get some minutes in what would be his re-debut with FC Barcelona.

On the absences front, Flick’s decision to leave Dro Fernández in Barcelona stands out. The academy player, who had been enjoying some involvement with the first team, will not be part of the squad by technical decision. 

The new and refreshing face in the squad is Tommy Marques. The young talent, who currently plays for the Blaugrana reserve team, has received a call-up to the first team to cover Flick’s tactical needs.
