Official: Barcelona squad vs Celta Vigo released

The last home game of the season is upon us as Barcelona get ready to host Celta Vigo in the penultimate gameweek. Ronald Koeman has called upon 21 players that will hope to get all three points from the encounter. Frenkie de Jong picked up his fifth yellow card of the season and is, therefore, suspended.

Ronald Araujo was subbed out at half-time against Levante, with reports coming in fearing another ankle sprain. However, he has been included in the squad list for this game. His partner in crime so often this season, Oscar Mingueza, though, misses out. The Spaniard has temporarily returned to the B team for their promotion play-offs.

Sergi Roberto, too, picked up an injury after being subbed on at half-time. His season was claimed to be over as soon as reports flooded in, and he has been ruled out from the squad list.

Full list: ter Stegen, Neto, Tenas; Dest, Pique, Araujo, Lenglet, Umtiti, Alba, Firpo; Busquets, Ilaix, Matheus, Pedri, Puig, Pjanic; Dembele, Messi, Trincão, Griezmann, Braithwaite

Absentees: Ansu Fati (knee), Phillipe Coutinho (knee), Frenkie de Jong, Sergi Roberto, Oscar Mingueza

This game could be a good one to try out something different given how the season is essentially over for Barcelona. Riqui Puig could come in for his third start in midfield, while Miralem Pjanic and Ilaix Moriba stay in contention as well. Antoine Griezmann could get some well-deserved rest, while Martin Braithwaite can be used to peg back the Celta backline. Not to forget, it could very well be Lionel Messi’s last time playing at the Camp Nou.
