Villarreal vs. Barcelona: Squad confirmed for Xavi's first away game
Dembele is once again involved after returning in midweek
Xavi Hernandez's third game in charge of Barcelona will be his first away from Camp Nou as he takes his side to Villarreal on Saturday in LaLiga.
For the match at the Ceramica, Xavi has called up 23 players with a few changes from the goalless draw with Benfica, although not many.
Ousmane Dembele and Sergiño Dest both continue in the squad after returning in that game in midweek as second-half substitutes.
However, Iñaki Peña drops out to get minutes with the B team, with Arnau Tenas taking his place, while Abde and Ilias both return after being unavailable in the Champions Leagie. Alejandro Balde also drops out.
