Barcelona have confirmed the squad that will travel for the first friendly of the pre-season against Olot.
Here’s the full list.
Goalkeepers: Marc-Andre ter Stegen, Inaki Pena.
Defenders: Sergino Dest, Mika Marmol, Chadi Riad, Alejandro Balde, Alex Valle, Arnau Casas.
Midfielders: Franck Kessie, Miralem Pjanic, Pedri, Nico Gonzalez, Pablo Torre, Marc Casado, Antonio Aranda.
Forwards: Alex Collado, Ansu Fati, Abde Ezzalzuli, Fabio Blanco, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Ilias Akhomach.
There are quite a few names missing here. Not counting the internationals that have only recently returned for pre-season, Xavi did not include in the squad the likes of Riqui Puig, Neto and Samuel Umtiti. This is a clear indication that he doesn’t count on them for the season.
