The squad to face Eintracht Frankfurt

Xavi has named his squad for Thursday’s Europa League quarter final second leg against Eintracht Frankfurt.

The Camp Nou is the venue for the continuation of the tie following a 1-1 draw in Germany.

The big news is the presence of both Memphis and Sergiño Dest, who have both been absent with fitness issues for the last few weeks but will return to the team for the 9.00pm CEST kick-off.

The full list of players is as follows:

Ter Stegen, Dest, Piqué, R. Araujo, Sergio, Riqui Puig, O. Dembélé, Memphis, Adama, Braithwaite, Neto, Lenglet, Pedri, L. De jong, Jordi Alba, Ferran, F. De Jong, O. Mingueza, Eric, Aubameyang, Nico, Gavi, Balde and Arnau Tenas.

Gerard Piqué is named in the squad but has not been declared fully fit. Ansu Fati, Sergi Roberto and Samuel Umtiti remain out through injury, while Dani Alves is not eligible for the Europa League

Back to work

After taking the day off on Tuesday, the team was back on pitch 2 at the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper on a wet and windy Wednesday morning in the Catalan capital.
