Napoli call up all their 'cracks' for Barcelona
Barcelona already know the squad for Tuesday night's Champions League round of 16 second leg. Francesco Calzona has all his stars in his squad for a must-win tie in order to qualify for the quarter-finals and next year's Club World Cup. Osimhen, Kvaratskhelia? No one is missing.
The Italian tactician has even brought back an effective player, Cyril Ngonge, for the clash on Montjuic. Another name to watch out for is Lobotka, as Xavi Hernandez himself, in his pre-match press conference, highlighted that he is his favourite player in the 'Azzurri' squad, to the point that he would see him as a player capable of adapting to his dressing room.
However, Contini, Gollini, Meret; Di Lorenzo, Juan Jesus, Silva Duarte Mario Rui, Mazzocchi, Natan, Olivera, Ostigard, Rrahmani; Frank Anguissa, Jens Cajuste, Jesper Lindstrom, Stanislav Lobotka, Junior Traore; Kvarastskhelia, Cyril Ngonge, Osimhen, Politano, Giacomo Raspadori and Giovanni Simeone will travel to Spain.
Barcelona will be able to wait one more day for Xavi to draw his squad because, as they are playing at home, they have more room for movement. It is quite likely that he will study his options in the last training session before the game to see if any of the players in his squad can play. Marcos Alonso is the most likely return. Ferran Torres, on the other hand, will have to wait at least until the league game against Atletico Madrid.
