With the Christmas break over, Barcelona will take on a familiar face as the Catalans travel to Gran Canaria to take on Garcia Pimienta’s Las Palmas for gameweek 19 of La Liga.

Barça are currently sitting third in La Liga, level on points with Atletico Madrid, but ahead on head-to-head courtesy of their 1-0 win earlier this season.

Xavi will want to start 2024 the right way, getting three points over the newly-promoted Canary Islands outfit, and has called up his entire arsenal for the same.

This includes a certain Vitor Roque, who will be travelling with the team. His involvement, however, depends on Barcelona registering him in time for the game. While there is optimism within the club, La Liga’s FFP mean they will have to wait until the last second for official confirmation.

Pedri is still out with an injury, with his return scheduled for after the Spanish Super Cup in Riyadh. Inigo Martinez, meanwhile, is expected to be back in time for the tournament as Barcelona take on Osasuna in the semi-finals. He will not, however, travel for this clash.

Marcos Alonso and Marc-Andre ter Stegen are also out of the squad due to a back injury, and will not be back before February, according to several reports.
