Barca squad list for Valencia clash: De Jong back in action

Barcelona coach Xavi Hernandez is trying to turn the page after his side's 2-3 defeat against Antwerp in the Champions League and is focused on his next La Liga encounter against Valencia.

The Catalan giants announced their squad list for the trip to the Mestalla stadium on Friday. Frenkie de Jong, who was not called up for the last European match due to rest, is available again to help his team retain the Spanish top-flight title.

Marcos Alonso, Ter Stegen, Gavi and Inigo Martinez are still out of action due to injury. Xavi has called up several academy players such as Casado, Kochen, Fermin Lopez, Cubarsi, Marc Guiu and Hector Fort to complete the squad list.
