De Jong passed fit for league opener
Ronald Koeman has announced his match day squad for tonight's game at Camp Nou (8pm). The only real surprise was that of Frenkie De Jong, who has managed to shake off an injury and will be ready to play from the start in the clash against Real Sociedad. The Dutch midfielder is a nailed on starter in this side, and barring any surprises, he will line up alongside Busquets and Pedri in central midfield.
Memphis, Eric García and Rey Manaj are also included in tonight's squad, having been registered yesterday as first team players for LaLiga matches. The Dutch striker is expected to start from the beginning, having performed well in pre-season. García, meanwhile, who has only trained four times with the squad, is expected to start from the bench. Rey Manaj will also start the game watching from the sidelines.
The full list of players called up for tonight's game is as follows: Neto, Iñaki Peña, Dest, Piqué, Araujo, Busquets, Riqui Puig, Griezmann, Memphis, Braithwaite, Rey Manaj, Lenglet, Pedri, Jordi Alba, Sergi Roberto, Frenkie de Jong, Emerson, Eric, Demir, Nico, Gavi, Balde and Arnau Tenas.
