Denis Suarez dropped from Barça squad against Villarreal
Valverde is also without Umtiti (injured), Roberto (banned) and Vidal
Barcelona coach Ernesto Valverde has named his 18-man squad for Wednesday's game against Villarreal in La Liga at Camp Nou.
Lucas Digne, Andre Gomes and Yerry Mina come into the squad in relation to Sunday's Clasico, while Denis Suarez, Sergi Roberto (banned) and Samuel Umtiti (injured) drop out.
The Barça boss' decision to leave Denis out is a surprising one, given the midfielder has done well when given the odd chance since the last international break.
Aleix Vidal has also been left out for technical reasons, as he was against Real Madrid at the weekend.
Umtiti, INJURED
Umtiti will sit the game out with a knee injury -- the club haven't said if he will miss more than one game -- and Sergi Roberto's banned following the red card he picked up on Sunday.
