As Barcelona look to bounce back from their El Clasico defeat to Real Madrid last week, they face a stiff challenge in the form of Real Sociedad on Saturday night.

Ahead of the tough test away at Anoeta, Barcelona manager Xavi Hernandez has released the squad list for the contest.

And the big news is that key midfielder Pedri has finally received the medical green light after over two months on the sidelines and makes a return to the squad.

However, the same cannot be said of fellow midfielder Frenkie de Jong, who once again misses out for Barça, as he is still not fully recovered from the ankle injury he suffered in September.

The likes of Raphinha, Robert Lewandowski, and Jules Kounde, who returned to the squad list for El Clasico are also present, but Sergi Roberto remains an absentee.

Barça Atletic captain Marc Casado also makes the list, but Marc Guiu, who has been a regular in the roster of late, is out as he is away representing Spain at the FIFA U-17 World Cup.
