Official: Barcelona squad list to face Rayo Vallecano

As Barcelona gear up to take on Rayo Vallecano away from home on Wednesday night, manager Xavi Hernandez has announced the squad list that he will be taking on the trip.

There are no major surprises on the list as Barcelona continue to be without Ousmane Dembele and Andreas Christensen. The duo has returned to team training but will not be risked for tomorrow’s game and could return against Real Betis at the weekend.

Meanwhile, Sergi Roberto also remains unavailable with an injury and could return next month against RCD Espanyol.

Another notable absentee for Barça against Rayo Vallecano on Wednesday will be captain Sergio Busquets. The midfielder picked his fifth yellow card of the season against Atletico Madrid on Sunday and is suspended for accumulation of cards.

Lamine Yamal, who made history last week when he became the youngest Barcelona player to be called up to the first-team squad for a game, has been included on the list for the trip to Vallecas.

Marc Casado, Arnau Tenas, and Chadi Riad from the Barça Atletic setup also have been called up.
