Hansi Flick's squad for the Levante match confirms Robert Lewandowski's return, after he recovered and took part in recent training sessions. Frenkie De Jong and a number of unregistered players are absent.

Barcelona have announced their 22-man squad for Saturday's match against Levante at the Ciutat. Despite initial doubts over Lewandowski's presence, his involvement in recent training sessions made his call-up widely anticipated.

Frenkie De Jong, who has missed training this week following the recent birth of his child, is omitted. Additionally, unregistered players Szczesny, Gerard Martí, Marc Bernal and Bardghji are not included. The latter featured in the reserve team's friendly match on Friday.

With De Jong unavailable, Gavi and Casadó could be in contention for a starting spot. Up front, Flick has not ruled out starting Ferran Torres again after his strong showing at Mallorca, keen not to rush Lewandowski's return.


Here is the Barcelona squad for the match against Levante

Goalkeepers: Iñaki Peña, Joan García, Kochen. Defenders: Alejandro Balde, Ronald Araujo, Pau Cubarsí, Andreas Christensen, Jules Koundé, Eric García, Jofre Torrents. Midfielders: Gavi, Pedri, Fermín López, Marc Casadó, Dani Olmo, Dro Fernández. Forwards: Ferran Torres, Robert Lewandowski, Lamine Yamal, Raphinha, Marcus Rashford, Toni Fernández.
