Ernesto Valverde has revealed his Barcelona squad to face Rayo Vallecano at the Estadio de Vallecas on Saturday which includes a call up for young midfielder Carles Alena but sees Denis Suarez and Malcom drop out.
Alena impressed in the team's late win over Cultural Leonesa in the Copa del Rey on Wednesday and therefore keeps his place as does Chumi.
Meanwhile, Lionel Messi and Samuel Umtiti have now reintegrated with the Barcelona squad and are edging closer to a return to action.
Thomas Vermaelen and Sergi Samper miss out through injury.
