Valverde includes two Barça B players in squad for Athletic game
The Barça coach will take 20 players to San Mames
Mascherano is a doubt and Costas & Busquets travel
Ernesto Valverde has named his squad for Barcelona's league game against Athletic Club this weekend, with 20 players included instead of the usual 18.
Javier Mascherano's a doubt with fever but has been included, as have two B team players: Oriol Busquets and David Costas.
If the Argentine recovers in time, neither of the reserve teamers are likely to be involved in the final 18 man squad at San Mames.
Neither Andres Iniesta nor Thomas Vermaelen will travel, though, due to a thigh and hip problems respectively.
In addition, Dembele, Rafinha, Arda Turan and Aleix Vidal are also still missing.
The squad is: Cillessen, Ter Stegen, Semedo, Sergi Roberto, Digne, Alba, Piqué, Umtiti, Mascherano, Busquets, Rakitic, Paulinho, Denis Suárez, André Gomes, Oriol Busquets, David Costas, Alcácer, Messi, Luis Suárez and Gerard Deulofeu.
