Barcelona vs. Eibar: Koeman names Messi-less squad for Liga game
Pique, Sergi Roberto, Ansu Fati and Jordi Alba also miss out for various reasons
Ronald Koeman has named the Barcelona squad for Tuesday's game against Eibar at Camp Nou in La Liga (19.15h kickoff local time).
As expected, Ousmane Dembele returns to the squad following two weeks out with a hamstring problem picked up in the 2-1 defeat to Cadiz.
With the return of wide man Dembele, winger Konrad de la Fuente drops out of the squad for the visit of Eibar.
Lionel Messi, Sergi Roberto, Gerard Pique and Ansu Fati are all absent with injury problems, while Jordi Alba is suspended after picking up five yellow cards.
Messi returned to Barca on Tuesday following a week in Argentina, where he completed treatment on an ankle injury. He should be back for Sunday's game at Huesca.
