The Barcelona squad are preparing for Sunday's game against Osasuna

Barcelona's first-team squad held a minute's silence on Friday in memory of Diego Armando Maradona, who passed away this week. 

Ronald Koeman, Lionel Messi and the rest of the coaching staff and players waited until Friday to pay tribute to the Argentina legend as it was the first day everyone has been in since Tuesday's win over Dynamo Kiev. 

Therefore, on the Camp Tito Vilanova, the players and coaching staff gathered to pay tribute to Maradona, who played for Barça between 1982 and 1984. 

MESSI & DE JONG

Barça are focused on getting back to winning ways in La Liga and will hope to do so on Sunday against Osasuna with Messi and Frenkie de Jong back. The two were rested midweek. 

Koeman is waiting on the fitness of Sergio Busquets, injured while with Spain last week, but will definitely be without a long list of injured players this weekend. 

Gerard Piqué, Ansu Fati, Sergi Roberto, Ronald Araújo and Samuel Umtiti will all be absent.
