Barcelona name squad for Getafe match as Raphinha misses out

Barcelona have announced their squad for Saturday evening’s La Liga meeting with Getafe, with winger Raphinha left out and set to miss the club’s next matches.

Head coach Hansi Flick has included 23 players in his selection for the fixture. The squad features goalkeepers Joan Garcia, Wojciech Szczesny and Dominik Livakovic.

The defensive options are Joao Cancelo, Alejandro Balde, Farinas, Pau Cubarsi, Espart, Martin, Jules Kounde and Eric Garcia.

Barcelona’s midfield group consists of Gavi, Fermin Lopez, Pedri, Rodri, Dani Olmo and Bernal. Jesus, Lamine Yamal, Karim Adeyemi, Gordon and Abdelkarim complete the squad.

Raphinha’s absence is the main change to the group. The winger will not be available for the upcoming matches, although no further details were given in the announcement.

The Catalan club also confirmed that first-choice goalkeeper Joan Garcia has returned to the squad. He missed Barcelona’s previous La Liga game because of a knee problem.

His inclusion gives Flick three goalkeeping options for the meeting with Getafe, alongside Szczesny and Livakovic.

Barcelona published the squad on the club’s social media channels ahead of Saturday’s match.
