Official: Barcelona squad list against Eintracht Frankfurt first leg

Barcelona will make the trip to Germany to take on Eintracht Frankfurt for the Europa League quarter-finals first leg. On an incredible run of form, nothing less than a win will suffice here, especially since away rules do not exist in UEFA competitions anymore.

Only 21 players will make this trip to Frankfurt, with several complications for Xavi. Most recently, for example, Memphis Depay has picked up a hamstring injury, and will not travel with the team for this game.

Sergino Dest and Sergi Roberto are still injured, while Dani Alves is not registered for the Europa League. As such, Barcelona are without a natural right-back in their squad.

Alejandro Balde has been called up after a long time, though, which suggests Xavi could use him if push comes to shove.

Meanwhile, Luuk de Jong has not tested negative for COVID, and misses yet another game.
