The next Barcelona match is upon us! The _Blaugrana_ return from the international break with a huge game away to Atlético Madrid at the _Metropolitano_, and Hansi Flick has called up the following 23 players for Saturday’s clash:
**Goalkeepers**: 13. Joan Garcia, 25. Wojciech Szczesny, 33. Eder Aller
**Defenders**: 2. João Cancelo, 3. Alejandro Balde, 4. Ronald Araujo, 5. Pau Cubarsí, 18. Gerard Martín, 23. Jules Kounde, 24. Eric Garcia, 42. Xavi Espart
**Midfielders**: 6. Gavi, 8. Pedri, 16. Fermín López, 17. Marc Casadó, 20. Dani Olmo, 22. Marc Bernal, 43. Tommy Marqués
**Forwards**: 7. Ferran Torres, 9. Robert Lewandowski, 10. Lamine Yamal, 14. Marcus Rashford, 19. Roony Bardghji
Barça get two key reinforcements for this one as Jules Kounde and Alejandro Balde have been medically cleared to return after a month-long absence due to hamstring injuries, adding key depth at the back ahead of the stretch run. Frenkie de Jong (hamstring) is very close to a return but not quite ready yet, while Raphinha (hamstring) and Andreas Christensen (knee) are ruled out through injury.
**Predicted starting XI (4-2-3-1)**:
Joan; Eric, Cubarsí, Martín, Cancelo; Bernal, Pedri; Yamal, Olmo, Rashford; Ferran
The match kicks off at 9pm CET/WAT (Barcelona), 8pm GMT (UK & Nigeria), 3pm ET, 12pm PT (USA), 12.30am IST (India, Sunday), and you can join us to follow and comment all the action.
