Barcelona have not been able to recover Memphis Depay for the next La Liga match against Alaves. The game will be played on Sunday 23rd January in Vitoria at 21:00 CET.
There was hope of the Dutch striker joining the group for training on Saturday after training on his own on Friday. However, Depay does not appear in the video posted by the club.
It is a difficult situation which Xavi Hernandez will have to deal with. He will also be without Ansu Fati in attack as the young Barca player has a severe muscle injury which will force him to go to theatre.
At least Xavi will have Luuk de Jong against Alaves as he missed the Athletic Bilbao game through suspension. Gerard Pique and Pedri will also be involved as they have trained normally with the rest of the group.
