Official: Barcelona squad list to face Boca Juniors in the Maradona Cup

As the regular season wears on, Barcelona have decided to travel to Saudi Arabia to take on Boca Juniors as part of a friendly game. The match is set up as a tribute to Diego Maradona, who passed away this time last year.

Ahead of the game, 28 players have been selected for the outing, including any and all fit first-team regulars.

Marc-Andre ter Stegen, Gerard Pique, Ronald Araujo, Sergino Dest, Sergio Busquets, Frenkie de Jong, Nico, Gavi and Ousmane Dembele are some of the members of the starting lineup that will be travelling. Jordi Alba and Memphis Depay are unfit for the game.

On the bright side, Dani Alves is expected to make his debut tomorrow! The Barcelona legend was signed after the transfer window ended on a free transfer and will be registered in January when he can start featuring in official competitions.

Ilias Akhomach, Alvaro Sanz, Mika Marmol, Matheus Pereira, Arnau Comas, Alejandro Balde, Ferran Jutgla, and Guillem Jaime are some of the Barcelona B team members that have been selected for this game.

In a season marred with horrible scheduling and injuries, Barcelona will hope Xavi can select a lineup that best suits the need of the hour. This could be the time to give some debuts while keeping the first-teamers as fit as they can be.
