Barcelona vs. Real Madrid: Dembele & Pedri only absentees for Clasico
Xavi has named his squad for Sunday's LaLiga match at Camp Nou
The bad news for Xavi Hernández has been confirmed. It was expected, but on Saturday Pedri did not trained with the group, so he is not available and he is not included in the squad for Sunday's clásico against Real Madrid at Camp Nou at 21:00 CET. He was expected to come back from a thigh problem, but he will have to wait a little longer before returning to the pitch.
Ronald Araujo is back. The Uruguayan centre-back, after missing the game against Athletic Club at San Mames due to suspension, is available again and everything suggests that he will also be part of the starting XI. "We will give everything to win," he told SPORT.

Angel Alarcon will also be there. The youth product will be back with the U19s for this weekend's all-important league clash at Real Zaragoza against the leaders, but he will also sit on the bench at Camp Nou on Sunday.
Ousmane Dembélé, who is still recovering from injury, is also missing, along with Pedri.
