Cancelo, last minute loss at Barça to face Atlético

The Portuguese Joao Cancelo, with some physical problems, is out at the last minute for tonight's duel (9pm) that Barcelona will play at the Civitas Metropolitano against Atlético de Madrid.

The main novelty in the call is the presence of Marcos Alonso, who had been training with the team for a few days, after the surgery he underwent at the beginning of the year to solve a lumbar problem.

On the other hand, although Xavi Hernández practically took it for granted, Ferran Torres is still not in the squad, which also does not include the long-term injured Gavi and Alejandro Balde.

Pedri and Frenkie de Jong are also still out. With the loss of Cancelo, Xavi faces a problem in defense, since the Portuguese was replacing the injured Balde and will now have to improvise a left-footed side.

The squad is made up of the following players: Ter Stegen, Araujo, Iñigo Martínez, Lewandowski, Raphinha, Iñaki Peña, Joao Félix, Christensen, Fermín, Marcos Alonso, Oriol Romeu, Vitor Roque, Sergi Roberto, Gündogan, Koundé, Lamine Yamal, Casadó, Kochen, Cubarsí, Marc Guiu and Héctor Fort.
