Official: Barcelona squad list vs Deportivo Alaves

Coming off two 3-2 losses, Barcelona are not in the highest spirits. It has left the team realistically competing for just the one trophy as it stands – the Europa League. Unfortunately, the league is a far-fetched case, as Barça sit 7th, 17 points adrift of table-toppers Real Madrid.

The race for the top four is still on, though. And next up in Barcelona’s path is Deportivo Alaves. As promised by Xavi yesterday, the squad has been released, featuring 21 players.

Ousmane Dembele has been dropped once again. The Frenchman is reluctant to renew his contract and is being punished by the club for being so indecisive.

Ansu Fati picked up an injury against Athletic Club and has been dropped from the squad list. The Spanish forward is said to undergo surgery, and is probably out of the rest of the season.

On the flip side, Pedri seemed to have been injured, as he asked for a substitution in the Copa del Rey clash, but Xavi assured that it was a knock.

Memphis Depay is still injured and will not travel with the rest of the team.
