No De Jong or Roberto: Barça call up 24 players for Athletic Club visit
Umtiti returns to the squad after serving a one-game ban in Seville
Barcelona trained on Monday in good spirits despite seeing Real Madrid overtake them at the top of La Liga on Sunday after their controversial 2-1 win over Real Sociedad.
Quique Setien's side are preparing for Tuesday's game against Athletic Club at Camp Nou (10pm), when they can return to the top ahead of Madrid's game against Mallorca on Wednesday.
Barça will be without the injured Frenkie de Jong and Sergi Roberto for the game, as well as long-term absentee Ousmane Dembele.
However, Samuel Umtiti returns to the 24-man squad named by Setien. The Barça defender was suspended for Friday's goalless draw in Seville.
The numbers have been made up by the youngsters, with a number involved in the 24-man squad for the Basque side's visit.
In addition to Ronal Araujo, Ansu Fati and Riqui Puig, who have all had minutes since La Liga resumed, Iñaki Peña, Collado, Morer, Monchu and Cuenca have all been called up.
