Barcelona will hope to get back to winning ways as they take on Elche at the Camp Nou tomorrow in an early kick-off. The Catalans are coming off a 2-0 loss against Bayern Munich, despite performing much better than their Bavarian counterparts.

Ahead of the game, Barça have released their squad list, featuring no real surprises. With almost the entire squad fit and available for the game, Xavi has kept the team simple and straightforward.

The only major absence is that of Sergi Roberto, who seems to have not recovered from the injury he picked up vs Viktoria. He was discarded from the list vs Bayern as well, and will likely miss another two weeks of football.

Hector Bellerin and Marcos Alonso, both, have been handed their first starts in a Barça shirt, and will be available for the Elche game as well. In fact, they could be in line to start their first game together.

Franck Kessie and Frenkie de Jong are included, too. The duo have found it hard to get minutes ahead of Pedri and Gavi this season, but tomorrow could be their chance to impress Xavi for what is a long, and packed season.
