Thiago and Adriano return from injury, Villa out

Tito Vilanova has named a 20-man squad for this Sunday’s match away to Levante. Thiago and Adriano return to the squad after injury

Twenty players – 18 from the first team squad plus Oier and Tello from Barça B - will make the trip down to Valencia to face Levante on Sunday. Thiago and Adriano are back in contention after receiving the go-ahead from Club doctors on Saturday while David Villa drops out due to a left ankle problem. Only 18 players can be included in the final squad so Vilanova will have to rule out two players before kick-off (9 pm).

Villa has made 15 appearances since returning from the serious injury he suffered in December 2011 and has scored six times. However, he’ll have to wait a bit longer to reach a personal tally of 300 goals.

To Valencia on Sunday morning

The players – including Oier and Tello from Barça B - trained for the last time on Saturday morning ahead of Sunday’s match. They’ll make the journey down to Valencia on Sunday morning.
