The Spain international suffered a relapse to a thigh injury in the defeat to Benfica

Pedri will miss Barcelona's trip to Atletico Madrid after suffering a relapse to the thigh injury which ruled him out for two weeks in September.

The young midfielder returned against Benfica, playing over an hour, but trained alone on Friday and won't be fit to face Atletico at the Wanda Metropolitano.

However, Jordi Alba does return to Ronald Koeman's squad for the match against the reigning LaLiga champions after three weeks out.

Ousmane Dembele, Sergio Aguero and Martin Braithwaite are still sidelined, but Ansu Fati is in the squad again as he continues his return from 10 months out.

Full Barça squad: Ter Stegen, Neto, Iñaki Peña, Dest, Piqué, Araujo, Busquets, Riqui Puig, Memphis, Ansu Fati, Demir, Coutinho, Lenglet, Luuk de Jong, Jordi Alba, Sergi Roberto, Frenkie de Jong, Mingueza, Umtiti, Eric Garcia, Nico González and Gavi.
