Xavi summons Alves

FC Barcelona gave the list of those called up for the friendly match that will play against Boca Juniors on Tuesday Argentine in tribute to the legendary player Diego Armando Maradona. This match, which comes at a particularly difficult time for the Blaugrana after chaining three consecutive games without winning, it will at least help Dani Alves, accompanied by a good handful of team players, to have their first minutes in the first team.

Total, Xavi has summoned eleven players from Barcelona B, including Álvaro Sanz, Arnau Comas, Matheus, Guillem Jaume, Ferran Jutglà and Mika Mármol. The other players, until they reach eleven, have already been in first-team dynamics for some time. We are talking about Iñaki Peña, Nico, Gavi, Balde and Ilias.

Everyone available from the first team also travels, so only the injured will stay in Barcelona. Alves will be accompanied by Ter Stegen, Dest, Piqué, Araujo, Sergio Busquets, Riqui Puig, Dembélé, Demir, Neto, Coutinho, Lenglet, Luuk, Frenkie, Mingueza, Umtiti and Eric.

The Blaugrana expedition is summoned this Monday at 7:30 am in the Ciutat Esportiva to leave by coach to the El Prat airport, where it will take a charter flight to Saudi Arabia an hour later. The team plans to land at 4.30pm in Riyadh and train at 8pm at Mrsool Park Stadium. Before that, Xavi and Alves will appear at a press conference.
