"The next Barcelona match is upon us! The Blaugrana kick off the new year with a massive Catalan derby against Espanyol in a huge La Liga game, and Hansi Flick has called up the following 23 players for Saturday's clash: Goalkeepers: 1. Marc-André ter Stegen, 13. Joan Garcia, 25. Wojciech Szczesny Defenders: 3. Alejandro Balde, 5. Pau Cubarsí, 18. Gerard Martín, 23. Jules Kounde, 24. Eric Garcia, 26. Jofre Torrents"
"There's some very good news for this one as Pedri (muscle) and Dani Olmo (shoulder) return to the squad after missing time with injury, adding much-needed depth to the midfield ahead of a busy January. The defense is very thin, however, as Andreas Christensen (knee) has joined Gavi (knee) on the long-term injured list and Ronald Araujo, who is back with the group after a month away for mental health reasons, is not physically fit enough to play just yet."
Barcelona travel to face Espanyol in a Catalan derby with a 23-player squad selected by Hansi Flick. The squad lists three goalkeepers, six defenders, eight midfielders and six forwards. Pedri returns from a muscle problem and Dani Olmo returns from a shoulder issue, restoring midfield depth ahead of a busy January. Defenders Andreas Christensen and Gavi remain on the long-term injured list, and Ronald Araujo is back with the group but not yet fit to play. A 4-2-3-1 predicted XI features Joan in goal and Ferran leading the attack. Kickoff times are provided for multiple time zones.
