Unfortunately, the squad will be without the likes of Gavi, Marc-Andre Ter Stegen, and Marcos Alonso, who has been ruled out due to discomfort during a recent training session.

Barcelona’s Xavi Hernandez has announced his squad for the upcoming showdown with Atletico Madrid. The team is gearing up for a must-win match to stay in the race at the top of the La Liga table, alongside Real Madrid and Girona. Unfortunately, key players Gavi and Marc-Andre Ter Stegen are out due to injuries, and now veteran defender Marcos Alonso has also been ruled out after suffering discomfort during training. This is a small setback for Xavi, but it’s likely that Alonso wouldn’t have played anyway. The 32-year-old has been a bit part player for Barcelona this season and may be looking to leave in January. However, for now it seems he will stay until next summer before departing as a free agent.
