Koeman summons everyone available from the first team except Matheus

Ronald Koeman has included 20 players from the first team in the official premiere this season in the Champions League, a competition of bitter memory in recent years for Barcelona. It actually has 21 players available, but the Dutch coach has decided to dispense by technical decision of the Brazilian Matheus Fernandes, proving once again that he is a player who does not have a level to play for Barça, despite the fact that the technical secretariat spent seven million on his signing this January. This is one of the reasons why a large part of the squad refuses to accept a new salary cut from the club.

With the Clásico around the corner, it cannot be ruled out that the Dutch coach will resort to rotations. The return to the eleven of Ansu Fati and Philippe Coutinho seems certain, after being substitutes at the Alfonso Pérez Coliseum, while players like Sergio Busquets and Antoine Griezmann could jump for the first time this season of the eleven to give entrance to Miralem Pjanic and Francisco Trincao, respectively.

Those who Still out are goalkeeper Ter Stegen and defenders Alba and Umtiti; To complete the list of 23 players, the Dutch coach included three players from the filial: goalkeepers Iñaki Peña and Arnau Tenas, and central defender Oscar Mingueza.

The complete list of players for the Champions League premiere against Ferencvaros (21 hours) at the Camp Nou is: Neto, Sergi Roberto, Piqué, Junior, Lenglet, Sergio Busquets, Pjanic, De Jong,, Dest, Aleñá, Pedri, Griezmann , Messi, Trincao, Dembélé, Braithwaite, Coutinho, Fati, Araujo, Riqui Puig, Mingueza, Peña and Tenas
