Pique dropped from Barcelona squad for Saturday match
Barcelona coach Luis Enrique has not included Gerard Pique on the 18-man squad for the Saturday afternoon La Liga game at home against Las Palmas.
It is believed the decision was made to give the Spanish international some rest and is not related to the central defender's recent comments which have sparked a row with referee officials in Spain.
Every other Barcelona big star is included on the squad.
Barcelona 18-strong squad for the match against Las Palmas: Ter Stegen, Rakitic, Sergio, Arda, Iniesta, Suarez, Messi, Neymar, Rafinha, Mascherano, Alcacer, Jordi Alba, Digne, Andre Gomes, Aleix Vidal, Umtiti, Mathieu.
