Barcelona vs. Dynamo Kyiv: Koeman names 21-man squad for CL game
The return of Marc-Andre ter Stegen and the inclusion of Riqui Puig is the big news
Ronald Koeman has named a 21-man squad for Wednesday's Champions League game against Dynamo Kyiv (21h) at Camp Nou.
As expected, the German goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen returns to the squad and could make his first appearance this season. He has been out for 78 days and missed 11 games, including friendlies, since the debacle in Lisbon against Bayern Munich due to a knee injury.
Riqui Puig also comes back into the squad after being left out for technical reasons at the weekend when Barça drew 1-1 with Alaves.
Barça are looking for their third successive win in the Champions League on Wednesday. After beating Ferencvaros and Juventus, victory against Kyiv would almost wrap up the Koeman's side's place in the last 16.
Defenders Ronald Araujo and Samuel Umtiti are both missing through injury, as is Philippe Coutinho, while Matheus Fernandes has not been picked
There's no room for any players from the B team, either, with the exception of goalkeeper Iñaki Peña, who is third choice to Ter Stegen and Neto.
