Barcelona name squad for Levante with just 14 first-team players available
Quique Setién has named four Barça B players in the squad for Sunday's game
Quique Setien has named his 18 man squad for Barcelona's game against Levante on Sunday, with four B team players included.
Barça are down to just 14 first-team players following confirmation that Arturo Vidal will sit out the game with a bruised thigh. Luis Suarez, Ousmane Dembele and Neto are also injured.
Therefore, Setien has called up goalkeeper Iñaki Peña, midfielders Riqui Puig and Alex Collado and attacker Ansu Fati, who has been a regular with the first team all season.
Barça have been left short of numbers following the January departures of Carles Aleña, Jean-Clair Todibo, Moussa Wague and Carles Perez.
They must beat Levante this weekend to avoid falling further behind league leaders Real Madrid. Los Blancos moved six points clear with Saturday's win against Atletico, so Barça must respond at Camp Nou on sunday.
