After missing much of pre-season through injury, Denis Suarez could finally get his first taste of LaLiga action this season on Sunday after being named in the Barlcelona squad for the visit of Girona.
The former Manchester City man takes Rafinha's place in the matchday squad, though there is still no room for new boy Malcom among the 18.
Ernesto Valverde made a handful of changes from the squad that secured a 2-1 victory over Real Sociedad in their last league outing, though Suarez's inclusion was the headline news.
Malcom will play no part in the Catalan derby after being left out as he continues to batltle and ankle problem, whilst Arthur does make the cut despite a knock of his own.
The Barcelona squad in full:
Ter Stegen, Semedo, Piqué, Rakitic, Sergio Busquets, Denis Suárez, Coutinho, Arthur, Luis Suárez, Messi, Dembélé, Cillessen, Leglet, Jordi Alba, Munir, Sergio Roberto, Arturo Vidal and Umtiti.
