Official: Barcelona name squad to face Brest, featuring one surprise inclusion | OneFootball

La Liga giants Barcelona have on Tuesday afternoon unveiled the club’s matchday squad to face Stade Brestois later in the day.

Hansi Flick’s troops are of course set to get their European campaign back up and running in a few hours’ time.

After dropping a pair of points in disappointing fashion at Celta Vigo over the weekend, Barcelona will set about securing a first win in three, in a Champions League clash with the aforementioned Brest.

Boss Flick and his coaching staff will be forced to make do with a number of important players for the matchup, not least Lamine Yamal, who remains sidelined with an ankle injury.

One surprise inclusion in the Blaugrana’s ranks, though, has this afternoon also been confirmed.

After Hansi Flick assured yesterday that he would play no part against Brest owing to a hamstring issue, left-back Alejandro Balde has been called up for the fixture.

Also returning to the fray is long-term absentee Eric García.
