Eight players back for Barcelona's trip to Granada
The Catalans have various stars returning after injury or Covid 19
Xavi could not hide his joy at getting his players back after a plague of injuries and Covid cases. Up to eight players returned. “We’re starting to see the light,” said the coach.
One of those back is Memphis Depay, who had been suffering from a muscular injury since the start of December. He is in the squad list and likely to start on the bench.
Luuk de Jong might start against Granada after scoring against Mallorca and being suspended in the Copa del Rey.
Dembele, who came off the bench against Linares, could start with Jutgla keeping his place, either side of Luuk de Jong.
Gavi returns and could join Busquets and Nico Fernandez in the middle. If Xavi wants four midfielders he might use Dani Alves there too.
Umtiti and Lenglet are back but most likely is Pique and Eric together in the middle, with Alba Alves outside them.
