Unsurprisingly, Lamine Yamal does not appear in the FC Barcelona group for the reception of Valence in Liga this Sunday. Victim of discomfort in the pubis contracted during the gathering of the Spanish selection, the attacker did not participate in collective training on Saturday, and would even be very uncertain for the trip to Newcastle on Thursday, in the Champions League.

The great surprise of this list is Marc Bernal's return, again after 382 days of absence due to a serious knee injury. The young environment, which should start on the bench, could go into play to gradually find the pace. Another novelty: the first appearance of Roony Bardghji, expected to start the meeting in order to compensate for the absence of Lamine Yamal, according to the Catalan press. Frenkie de Jong, Gavi, Alejandro Baldé and Marc-André Ter Stegen are also forfeits.
