Riqui Puig has been left out of the Barcelona squad for the second time in a row. The academy player missed the clash against Valencia through illness, but he has now fully recovered and is training with his teammates.
Moussa Wague who could leave Barca in the next few hours is not in the squad either. The full back, due to his lack of game time, will look for a departure to continue progressing.
Ousmane Dembele has not made it in time for the game. The Frenchman had already trained with the group, but Quique Setien prefers to err on the side of caution with a player who has had lots of injury problems.
Therefore, the 18 players who were called up against Valencia will have another chance against Leganes in the Copa del Rey.
The 18 man squad is the following: Ter Stegen, Semedo, Piqué, Rakitic, Busquets, Arthur, Messi, Lenget, Griezmann, Jordi Alba, Sergi Roberto, De Jong, Vidal, Umtiti, Junior, Iñaki Peña, Collado and Ansu Fati.
