One misses out as Barcelona name squad to face Real Madrid | OneFootball

Barcelona have on Saturday unveiled the club’s travelling squad for their upcoming showdown with arch rivals Real Madrid.

The latest edition of El Clásico is of course set to play out later this evening.

In a crucial clash at the top of the La Liga table, Real Madrid will act as hosts, welcoming leaders Barcelona to the Santiago Bernabéu for a highly-anticipated matchup.

As is customary, the former’s squad for the fixture was unveiled 24 hours prior to kick-off.

Barcelona’s, though, was only made official a short time ago, featuring one notable, albeit largely expected absentee.

This comes amid confirmation that Eric García has not recovered from the issue suffered during the warm-up for last weekend’s victory over Sevilla.

Elsewhere, long-term absentees Ronald Araújo, Andreas Chritensen, Marc-André ter Stegen, Marc Bernal and Ferran Torres all miss out, too.

On the other hand, though, Gavi, Fermín López and Dani Olmo have been passed fit once more.
