Dembélé tests negative and enters the call

Finally, Xavi Hernández has been able to include a forward from the first team in the call for today’s match in Linares de Copa: Ousmane Dembélé tested negative in the last PCR test and will travel with the rest of the available players. He will be the only striker in the first team, as the rest are out due to injury or suspension: Memphis, Braithwaite, Ferran, Luuk, Demir and Fati.

Brazilian Dani Alves also enters the list, although he is still waiting to be entered. In any case, the club assures that the defender will be able to play against Linares.

However, Defenders Clement Lenglet and Samuel Umtiti fall from the call due to a graphic indisposition.

The complete list of footballers who are summoned for the match against Linares (7.30pm) is as follows: Ter Stegen, Neto, Piqué, Eric, Araújo, Mingueza, Sergio Busquets, Alba, Alves, Frenkie, Riqui Puig, Dembélé, Nico, Peña, Jutglà, Ilias, Álvaro, Guillem, Comas, Mármol and Estanis.
