Luis Enrique drops Andre Gomes for Espanyol derby clash
Gomes has been preferred to Ivan Rakitic recently, although Andres Iniesta's absence has also played a part
There was one big surprise in Luis Enrique's Barcelona squad to face Espanyol on Sunday night at Camp Nou. Andre Goms has been sacrificed and is not part of the squad, while Aleix Vidal, Jordi Masip and the injured Jeremy Mathieu are the other absences.
Gomes has been preferred to Ivan Rakitic recently, although Andres Iniesta's absence has also played a part in how many minutes he has been accumulating.
The squad for the game is: Ter Stegen, Cillessen, Piqué, Rakitic, Sergio Busquets, Denis Suárez, Arda Turan, Iniesta, Suárez, Messi, Neymar, Rafinha, Mascherano, Alcácer, Jordi Alba, Sergi Roberto, Digne and Umtiti.
