After a two-week-long international break, FC Barcelona will be back in action this Saturday as they face Las Palmas in La Liga matchday 30. The Catalans will be facing a familiar face in this tie, as Garcia Pimienta will be returning to the club where he spent a considerable time as the head coach of Barcelona Atletic.
Several Barcelona players were in action in the international break, with the most prominent one being Lamine Yamal, who received a standing ovation from the Santiago Bernabeu.
Pau Cubarsi also made his international debut at only 17 years of age, while Lewandowski was able to lead his Poland side to the EURO 2024.
Now, all these players have returned to Barcelona, and will be available for Xavi to face the Canary Islanders, and then train for the monumental tie against PSG in the Champions League semi-finals.
However, the Catalans will be still without some key players like Andreas Christensen, Frenkie de Jong, Pedri, Balde, and Gavi, who all remain sidelined due to injuries.
However, the winger Ferran Torres has recovered from his injury, and has been named in the squad for this upcoming game against Las Palmas. The Spaniard thus returns after two months of inaction following the injury suffered in the femoral biceps of his right thigh on January 31st.
FC Barcelona have officially announced the squad that will be representing the club in this upcoming match, and the players who will be available to Xavi are as follows:
