At long last, the time arrives for FC Barcelona to finally take on Paris Saint-Germain. Arguably one of the toughest challenges yet for the Catalan giants this season, it could also be pivotal to their season. However, to overcome PSG, Barcelona are well aware that they will need their best players available.
Fortunately for them, it seems that a majority of their most crucial stars will be able to travel with the team. Previously, it was speculated that Pedri, Frenkie De Jong, and Andreas Christensen all had varying chances to feature in the game itself, but the recent squad list reveals exactly which players can be counted upon.
The Danish defender is a guarantee for Xavi now, as his name has been included regularly. On the other hand, while the names of both Pedri and Frenkie De Jong have also been included in the squad list, they are present without complete medical clearance as they travel to Paris.
Undoubtedly, there will be hope for Barcelona that both midfield stars can receive that clearance ahead of the game itself. Luis Enrique’s PSG is formidable, but Barcelona now have an added boost with some of their best players back in action.
Moreover, several talented youngsters also find themselves in the final squad list. Pau Cubarsi and Lamine Yamal understandably find themselves there, and they are joined by the likes of Ander Astralaga, Marc Casado, Fermin Lopez, Marc Guiu, and Hector Fort.
