Xavi Hernandez has announced his squad for Sunday evening’s showdown clash with Atletico Madrid at the Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys. Barcelona see this match as a must-win, so that they can keep pace with Real Madrid and Girona at the top of the La Liga table.

As expected, Gavi and Marc-Andre Ter Stegen are out for the match after respective knee and back injuries, while another absentee is Marcos Alonso. The veteran defender was expected to be included, but he suffered with discomfort during Saturday’s training session (as per Sport), and has subsequently been ruled out of contention.
