Barcelona will be desperate to bounce back following back-to-back defeats against Girona and Royal Antwerp in the Champions League and La Liga, respectively, as they take on Valencia for gameweek 17 of the league.

Xavi has chosen to call up 23 players for this clash, which includes Frenkie de Jong. The Dutch international did not participate vs Antwerp due to poor health, but joined the team in training a day after the game.

Hector Fort did not particularly have a debut to remember as the right-back in midweek, but continues in the squad anyway. Xavi could look to give him minutes if they team is on the right track during the game.

Meanwhile, scorer of the second goal vs Antwerp, Marc Guiu retains his spot in the squad list. Ideally, in the kind of form he is in, he would be challenging Robert Lewandowski for a spot upfront, but the idea of it remains a bit farfetched.

Gavi, Marc-Andre ter Stegen, Inigo Martinez, and Marcos Alonso are still injured. While Gavi won’t be back for the rest of the season, fans can look forward to seeing the rest of the three return sometime during early 2024 each.
