Barcelona Squad Revealed for Getafe Clash: Key Absence Noted

Football News

La Liga champions Barcelona have officially released their squad list for their impending encounter with Getafe. Notably, the selection features a significant and unexpected omission.

The Catalan club is preparing to resume league play on Saturday with a fixture against Getafe. Barcelona is on the brink of securing the La Liga title, standing just a few victories away from retaining their championship status.

However, Hansi Flick’s team will have to compete without the services of Lamine Yamal. The young winger sustained a hamstring injury during the week in Barcelona’s hard-fought victory over Celta Vigo. As a consequence, the 18-year-old has been sidelined for the remainder of the season.

Consequently, Yamal has not been included in the squad called up for Saturday’s trip to Madrid. In contrast, news regarding João Cancelo is considerably more encouraging.

Below is the complete Barcelona travelling squad to face Getafe:

Goalkeepers: Ter Stegen, Iñaki Peña, Astralaga

Defenders: Cancelo, Araujo, Iñigo Martínez, Koundé, Lamin, Fort

Midfielders: Gavi, Pedri, Oriol Romeu, Sergi Roberto, Frenkie de Jong, Gündoğan, Marc Casadó

Forwards: Lewandowski, Ferran Torres, Raphinha, Vitor Roque, Lamine Yamal, João Félix
