Setien is set to include Riqui Puig in the first team squad against Granada
Barcelona B are in a good moment. Their midweek win over Badalona moved them third in the league and the aim is to gain promotion back into the second tier of Spanish football.
This weekend they travel to the Nou Estadi in Tarragona to take on Gimnastic in a local derby, but they will be without Riqui Puig.
It has not been confirmed yet but the young midfielder is set to be in the first-team squad against Granada, with Frenkie de Jong suspended.
Juvenil A midfielder Ilaix Moriba comes into the squad in place of Riqui Puig, with Nils Mortimer and Mika also called up from the U19s.
Elsewhere, Ronald Araujo and Abel Ruiz, who have been training with the first team, will finally be part of the B team this weekend.
