FC Barcelona head coach Xavi Hernández has called up 22 players for the upcoming league game against Luis García’s RCD Espanyol. The squad list sees the return of Barcelona vice-captain and soon-to-be first captain, Sergi Roberto, despite earlier reports suggesting he could be out for the season.

Current captain Sergio Busquets is also included, and this could be his chance to clench the 9th La Liga title of his career before parting ways with the club in the summer.
