Squad named for Thursday's game against Getafe
FC Barcelona play Getafe on Matchday 31 of the LaLiga season, as the campaign reaches a crucial stage. Ronald Koeman's men host the Madrid-based side in a Thursday night fixture, with their fate in the competition still in their own hands.
After winning the Copa del Rey in the final against Athletic Club last weekend, the team return to LaLiga action. For the challenge, the coach has chosen a 23-man squad, consisting of: Ter Stegen, Dest, Piqué, R. Araujo, Busquets, Griezmann, Pjanić, Messi, Riqui Puig, Lenglet, Pedri, Trincão, Jordi Alba, Matheus, S. Roberto, F. De Jong, Umtiti, Junior, Iñaki Peña, Ilaix Moriba, O. Mingueza, Konrad and Arnau Tenas.
Neto, Ansu Fati, Coutinho, Braithwaite and Dembélé all miss the contest through injury.
Dembélé out with a pelvis problem
Ousmane Dembélé is a late withdrawl from the squad with a pelvis problem, with his future availability depending on his recovery.
The Frenchman has played 38 games in all competitions this season: 24 in LaLiga, 6 in the Copa del Rey, 6 in the Champions League and 2 in the Spanish Super Cup, scoring a total of 10 goals.
