"January signing Joao Cancelo has been included in the squad, just a day after his arrival, having only trained with the team for one session. He could make his debut tonight, even if it is as a substitute. Meanwhile, youngster Tommy Marques gets another call-up and he will also be hoping to make his maiden appearance for the first team, having been featured in the squad for almost ten matches now."
"Fellow academy ace Dro misses out due to discomfort, while Gavi and Andreas Christensen are also unavailable through injuries. Marc-Andre ter Stegen started the last cup tie against Guadalajara but is unlikely to feature from the get-go tonight, with Joan Garcia expected to hold on to his place. There could be rotation in attack, though, with Roony Bardghji, Dani Olmo, and Marcus Rashford expected to get starting berths."
