Bad news with Gerard Piqué. The Catalan center-back did not have the best sensations in his left adductor this Wednesday, so his presence ahead of this Thursday’s game is more up in the air than ever. In fact, the player entered the call, but without having the medical discharge, hoping that in the next few hours his pain subsides and he can finish playing. In any case, the sensations today are pessimisticas the player is still uncomfortable on the field.
Those who have been discharged and have entered the list are Sergiño Dest and Memphis Depay. Although, the two will start on the bench: They hardly have a training session with the group behind them, so they lack competition rhythm.
The injured Ansu Fati, Sergi Roberto and Samuel Umtiti have not entered the squad.
Five players must pay special attention not to see a card this Thursday, which would lead to suspension for the next game, if the team finally qualifies for the semifinals. Those warned, apart from Piqué, are Eric, Sergio Busquets, Alba and Gavi. If they don’t see a card and Barça qualify, they would reach the semi-finals ‘clean’.
The list of players that are part of the ready for the game against Eintracht Frankfurt this Thursday (9 pm) at the Camp Nou is as follows: Ter Stegen, Neto, Mingueza, Araújo, Piqué, Dest, Alves, Eric, Alba, Lenglet, Sergio Busquets, Frenkie, Pedri, Nico, Riqui Puig, Dembélé, Memphis, Adama, Braithwaite, Luuk, Aubameyang, Ferran, Tenas, Balde and Gavi.
