Barcelona have released the squad against Girona. First team player Marcos Alonso has lower back pain. He is out and his recovery will determine his availability.
Marcos Alonso isn't the only absent player.
Gavi is out for the remainder of the season after rupturing his anterior cruciate ligament in November, while Marc-Andre Ter Stegen also remains absent after he underwent surgery this week to fix a recurring back injury. Inigo Martinez is also out until 2024 after being injured in the warm-up against Atletico Madrid last weekend.
Martinez’s injury means that Xavi Hernandez is down a centre-back, and he has opted to call up 16-year-old Pau Cubarsi for the match against Girona. The youngster is very highly-rated within Barcelona.
