Official: One in, one out as Barcelona name squad to face Benfica | OneFootball

The squad of players set to be depended upon by La Liga giants Barcelona to get the better of Benfica tomorrow night has on Monday been unveiled.

And it features one altogether noteworthy new inclusion.

Barcelona are of course primed to return to action in a little over 24 hours’ time.

Fresh off a disappointing pair of points dropped against Getafe in La Liga over the weekend, the Blaugrana will turn attentions back towards matters on the continent.

A testing clash with Portuguese heavyweights Benfica awaits in the Champions League, in Lisbon.

And, as alluded to above, the panel of players set to be tasked with securing an immediate return to winning ways on Tuesday has today been revealed.

Hansi Flick has as expected opted for a strong group, with Dani Olmo the only fresh absentee after suffering an injury setback against Getafe.

Returning to matchday duties following a 4-game absence, on the other hand, is the out-of-favour Ansu Fati:
