Official: Barcelona squad list to face Girona
With Barcelona set to take a short trip to face Girona later today, manager Xavi Hernandez has released the squad list that will be travelling to Montilivi.
The Catalans could go six points ahead of Real Madrid in the La Liga standings should they secure a win against their local rivals in the Catalan derby.
But they will have to do so without the services of ace goalscorer Robert Lewandowski and fellow forward Ferran Torres. The attackers will be serving the last of their respective three-match suspensions and will sit this one out.
Given their absences, Xavi has called upon 18-year-old striker Angel Alarcon to provide more depth in the attacking department for the trip to Girona after not having him in the squad against Real Sociedad.
Meanwhile, Pedri, who had to be taken off with a knock in the match against Sociedad, has recovered fully and is named in the squad list.
Furthermore, 18-year-old academy man Ander Astralaga gets a call-up as the third goalkeeper.
