Barcelona has officially released its squad list. The team is preparing for Tuesday’s critical UEFA Champions League encounter against Chelsea. A significant development is the return of Marcus Rashford, who has recovered from a recent bout of flu.
Rashford, aged 28, missed the Catalans’ dominant 4-0 LaLiga win against Athletic Club last weekend. He has now received clearance. The forward is fit to travel with the squad for the upcoming match.
Conversely, midfielder Pedri will not feature in the squad. He has not fully recovered from his ongoing injury. Club officials confirmed his assessment on Monday. Despite this, he remains unavailable for selection.
Barca manager Hansi Flick faces significant pressure. He must deliver a compelling performance against Chelsea. This comes after Barcelona’s disappointing 3-3 draw with Olympiacos in their last Champions League fixture.
The German tactician is anticipated to implement crucial tactical adjustments. Barça is keen to return to winning ways in the competition.
