Following their win over Galatasaray in the UEFA Champions League, FC Barcelona are set to return to action in La Liga today, on Saturday, as they take on an in-form Real Betis side. The Catalans will be playing this game at La Cartuja, and it will be a significant challenge for Hansi Flick’s team to get a result from this match.
Fortunately, the Blaugranes got some timely reinforcements for this game. Both [Raphinha and Frenkie de Jong have been training normally with the rest of their teammates for the last couple of days](https://barcanewsnetwork.com/barcelona-could-welcome-back-two-key-players-for-real-betis-clash/), and they have both been named in the squad list announced by Barcelona, as reported by [Mundo Deportivo](https://www.mundodeportivo.com/futbol/fc-barcelona/20261016/1004239582/lista-barca-betis-dos-altas-esperadas.html).
The Dutchman is yet to play his first minutes this season after having suffered an injury in the World Cup that kept him unavailable for the preseason and the start of the season. On the other hand, Raphinha started the new season in incredible form, and his return would be a significant boost for Flick. However, it is unlikely that either of these players will start this game.
With the return of these two players, the German coach has 24 players available for selection. As only 23 players can be named in a squad list, Hamza Abdelkarim has missed out, and he will play for Barca Atletic this weekend.
