Barca squad list: Gavi back, Kounde out

Xavi has announced his 20-man squad list to travel to Valladolid on Tuesday in the third-to-last matchday of the La Liga season, and noting to play for for the 'Cules'.

The main news in the list is thre return of Gavi. The academy gradute missed the Real Sociedad game after he was suspended and will, presumibly, return to the starting eleven.

The other player who appears is Marc Casado, who will be helping out the first team, due to the fact that there is no academy games during the week.

Despite being at the Real Sociedad game, Jules Kounde doesn't get the call-up this time. The French centre-back, who has played several times at right-back, won't be travelling due to a muscle injury.

Neither Ronald Araujo nor Pedri have been named by Xavi, as they both are still suffering from light injuries which should have them back for the next game.

Here's Barca's full squad-list: Ter Stegen, Busquets, Dembele, Lewandowski, Ansu Fati, Ferran Torres, Inaki Pena, Christensen, Marcos Alonso, Jordi Alba, Kessié, Sergi Roberto, De Jong, Raphinha, Eric Garcia, Balde, Marc Casado, Gavi, Pablo Torre and Arnau Tenas.
