FC Barcelona announced the squad list for the first pre-season match of the season against Nastic de Tarragona (friendly) today. The game will be played at 19.00pm CET.

Pjanić and Todibo have just recovered from COVID-19 and don’t make the list either, while Ansu Fati and Ter Stegen are injured.

Many Barça B players, such as Konrad and Ilaix Moriba, will get an opportunity to play alongside senior players and prove themselves.

The full squad list consists of:

Neto, Inaki Pena, Arnau Tenas, Semedo, Piqué, Busquets, Griezmann, Messi, Dembélé, Lenglet, Jordi Alba, Braithwaite, Roberto, Frenkie De Jong, Junior Firpo, Coutinho, Alena, Trincao, Pedri, Riqui Puig, Araujo, Cuenca, Miranda, Konrad, Ilaix Moriba
