Official: Barcelona squad list to face Valencia

Barcelona are faced with a handful of defensive concerns for their trip to Mestalla on Sunday, starting with Gerard Pique and Dani Alves. Both veterans are suspended for the game, while Samuel Umtiti and Clement Lenglet are injured.

Ronald Araujo was touted to miss this game as well, but has eventually made the cut after passing his medical exam today. His place in the starting lineup will be determined by his fitness.

Memphis Depay was expected to be back for this encounter, but as Xavi revealed today, he faced a relapse in training. As such, the club has decided to keep him out of proceedings till the Napoli clash, at least.

Martin Braithwaite and Riqui Puig have not received minutes under the new management but continue to make the squad list without fail.

Ferran Jutgla does not make the list on this occasion and will be continuing with Barcelona B. The same does not go for Ez Abde, though, who will travel with the rest of the team.
