Barca squad list for Atletico crunch tie

Midfielders Pedri and Frenkie de Jong have got the medical all-clear and are both in the squad list that Barcelona have published on the eve of the game against Atletico Madrid.

Andreas Christensen, Ousmane Dembélé and Sergi Roberto are still out, while 15 year old Lamine Yamal has been called up for the first time.

Pedri suffered a hamstring issue on 16th February while playing in the Europa League against Manchester United at the Camp Nou, and has been out since.

Dutchman Frenkie de Jong injured his bicep during El Clasico on the 19th March, a game which Barca ended up winning 2-1.

Xavi is particularly happy to be able to have Pedri for the game. With him in the side, BeSoccer Pro's data show that Barca score more, win more and lose less.

The complete squad list is as follows: Ter Stegen, Araujo, Sergio Busquets, Pedri Gonzalez, Lewandowski, Ansu Fati, Ferran Torres, Inaki Pena, Marcos Alonso, Jordi Alba, Kessié, De Jong, Raphinha, Kounde, Eric Garcia, Balde, Gavi, Pablo Torre, Arnau Tenas, A. Alarcon and Lamine Yamal.
