Piqué enters the list to start against PSG!

Follow Barcelona – PSG live on AS.com.

Y if it has entered the list it is not exactly to sit on the bench. Koeman already warned that if he included him in the call it is because he considered that he had guarantees of being able to count on him from the first minute. So that, Piqué's presence on the list, after being discharged, invites us to think that the central defender will be part of the eleven gala that comes out tonight at the Camp Nou.

Now the great unknown is knowing who will accompany Piqué in the defense axis. Everything indicates that Clement Lenglet, his regular partner on big dates, will be the chosen one, although it is true that he has not had much regularity in recent weeks. Who seems practically ruled out is Samuel Umtiti, especially after his last mistakes in defense, where he has shown a lack of physique and speed that is more than worrying. The defender of the subsidiary, Óscar Mingueza, who is showing great consistency, would even be ahead of Umtiti, although it cannot be ruled out that the youth squad continues to play on the right wing if Sergiño Dest is not fully recovered.

Braithwaite, the other return

The return of Piqué overshadowed the other return to the call. And is that forward Martin Braithwaite also entered the list after recovering from a muscle elongation that has left him out in the last two games.

So that, Koeman recovers two troops. Actually the blaugrana infirmary only has four tenants: Ansu Fati, Philippe Coutinho, Sergi Roberto and Ronald Araújo. The latter tried until the last moment to get to the appointment against PSG, but finally both the technicians and the doctors advised him against forcing to avoid a relapse in the left ankle. So, finally, infiltration was ruled out and Araújo will watch the game from the stands.

Apart from the 19 players of the first team, where there is also the Brazilian Matheus Fernandes, who has only played 19 minutes this seasonKoeman maintains its bet on the team's players, in this case two: goalkeeper Iñaki Peña and defender Óscar Mingueza.

The complete list of footballers to play this Tuesday (9:00 pm) against PSG at the Camp Nou is made up of: Ter Stegen, Neto, Dest, Junior, Lenglet, Piqué, Alba, Umtiti, De Jong, Busquets, Pjanic, Matheus, Pedri, Riqui Puig, Griezmann, Braithwaite, Dembélé, Messi, Trincao, Peña and Mingueza.
