Barcelona squad list for Almeria clash

Defender Ronald Araujo will miss Friday's La Liga match between Barcelona and Almeria, joining midfielder Ilkay Gundogan, who is suspended.

Xavi Hernandez justified the Uruguayan defender's substitution last Monday in the 2-0 win over Real Sociedad with "minor discomfort", and confirmed at Wednesday's press conference that the pain persisted.

With Pablo Paez Gavira 'Gavi', Frenkie de Jong and Alejandro Balde already out injured, and Gundogan absent due to accumulation of yellow cards, home-grown player Marc Casado will be the main new addition to the squad.

This is the full 'Cule' squad list:

Goalkeepers: Ter Stegen, Inaki Pena and Kochen.

Defenders: Joao Cancelo, Inigo Martinez, Christensen, Marcos Alonso, Sergi Roberto, Kounde, Cubarsi and Hector Fort.

Midfielders: Pedri, Fermin, Oriol Romeu, Sergi Roberto and Marc Casado.

Forwards: Ferran, Lewandowski, Raphinha, Joao Felix, Vitor Roque and Lamine Yamal.
