The derby squad

Ernesto Valverde has named his squad for Saturday’s derby against Espanyol at 9.00pm CET.

The good news is that Ansu Fati has been declared fully fit and available for selection, and has indeed been included in the list of 18.

He joins Nelson Semedo, Piqué, Ivan Rakitic, Sergio, Suárez, Messi, Neto, Lenglet, Griezmann, Jordi Alba, Sergi Roberto, Frenkie De Jong, Vidal, Umtiti and Junior Firpo, together with Iñaki Peña and Carles Pérez of Barça B.

That means no room for Todibo or Wague, as well as the injured Ter Stegen, Arthur and Dembélé.
