Fourth in the Liga standings, four points behind leader Merengue, FC Barcelona will face a real shock on the 12th day of the championship. Opposed to Real Sociedad, the Catalans must achieve a good result in the Basque Country to stay in the right group.
To do this, Xavi chose to bring a group of 21 players. As expected, Frenkie de Jong will not be traveling as a precaution. On the other hand, the good news is the return of Pedri. The 20-year-old has not played in La Liga since August 20 (and a 2-0 success against Cadiz) due to hamstring problems.
