Official: One in, one out as Barcelona name squad to face Olympiacos | OneFootball

The squad of players called upon by La Liga giants Barcelona for the club’s return to action on the continent has on Tuesday been unveiled.

And it features one noteworthy return, as well as a new absence.

Barcelona are of course primed to kick their European campaign back into gear later this evening.

Fresh off securing a return to winning ways at the expense of Catalan rivals Girona over the weekend, the Blaugrana will play host to Greek heavyweights Olympiacos in the Champions League.

Hansi Flick has long been aware that he would be unable to call upon the likes of Raphinha, Robert Lewandowski, Gavi and Dani Olmo for the fixture.

And added to the list of those unavailable to face Olympiacos on Tuesday afternoon was Andreas Christensen.

The Danish defender, it has been confirmed, has come down with a bout of illness.

Whilst one drops out for Barca, though, another has managed a timely return to fitness.

As much comes with Ferran Torres, after missing out over the weekend with a muscular complaint, back in the Blaugrana’s matchday setup.
