Last-minute change: Lewandowski, Araujo and Gundogan travel to Antwerp

Last-minute change in Barcelona's squad list for the match against Antwerp. The four important players who were to be rested have finally been reduced to one, Frenkie de Jong.

Barcelona announced early on Tuesday morning the changes to the squad list. Robert Lewandowski, Ronald Araujo and Ilkay Gundogan, who were not in the first call-up, now appear.

A decision that has come as a surprise, as Barcelona are virtually assured of top spot in the group and therefore have little at stake in Belgium on Wednesday.

Frenkie de Jong is finally staying in Barcelona. His absence is due, explained 'COPE', to a feverish process, so it is not classified as rest. The defeat against Girona on Sunday may have precipitated the last-minute changes. Xavi, therefore, is taking everyone available to Antwerp.
