The next Barcelona match is upon us! The _Blaugrana_ return home for a gigantic _La Liga_ game against Atlético Madrid at the _Montjuïc_ Olympic Stadium, and Hansi Flick has called up the following 23 players for Saturday’s clash:
**Goalkeepers**: 13. Iñaki Peña, 25. Wojciech Szczesny, 26. Ander Astralaga
**Defenders**: 2. Pau Cubarsí, 3. Alejandro Balde, 4. Ronald Araujo, 5. Iñigo Martínez, 23. Jules Kounde, 24. Eric García, 35. Gerard Martín, 36. Sergi Domínguez
**Midfielders**: 6. Gavi, 8. Pedri, 14. Pablo Torre, 16. Fermín López, 17. Marc Casadó, 20. Dani Olmo, 21. Frenkie de Jong
**Forwards**: 7. Ferran Torres, 9. Robert Lewandowski, 10. Ansu Fati, 11. Raphinha, 18. Pau Víctor
Barça lost two players since last Sunday’s loss to Leganés as Lamine Yamal suffered another ankle injury that will sideline him for close to a month while Héctor Fort had a muscle issue in training, and they join Marc-André ter Stegen (knee) and Marc Bernal (knee) on the injured list. But there is good news as Ansu Fati returns after missing the last five weeks with a hamstring injury, and the forward adds important depth up front without Yamal. Andreas Christensen (Achilles) is finally back in training, but the defender will have to wait a few weeks to get the medical green light.
**Predicted starting XI (4-2-3-1)**:
Peña; Kounde, Cubarsí, Iñigo, Balde; Casadó, Pedri; Raphinha, Olmo, Ferran; Lewandowski
The match kicks off at 9pm CET/WAT (Barcelona & Nigeria), 8pm GMT (UK), 3pm ET, 12pm PT (USA), 1.30am IST (India, Sunday), and you can join us to follow and comment all the action.
