Barça: the group summoned for the Almería reception

FC Barcelona revealed this Wednesday the group called by Xavi Hernandez to face Almería (6 p.m.), as part of the 18th day of La Liga. Barça absolutely must win to get back into the title race, the current third in the championship being 7 points behind rival Madrid and nine behind leader Girona.

For this reception of the Andalusian red lantern, the Catalan technician will still have to make his starting lineup without his starting goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen, recovering after his back operation. Spanish midfielder Pedri is also out, due to an injury sustained following a knock in training. Pau Prim, young midfielder from La Masia and captain of Rojita U17, makes his first appearance in the professional group.
