No Yamal! Barcelona announce XI to face Celta de Vigo

Hansi Flick’s Barcelona train look set to return to maximum efficiency as the La Liga leaders head into Galicia for the late game against Celta de Vigo.

Despite topping the table at the weekend, Barça will be keen to overturn their 1-0 loss away to Real Sociedad just before the recent international break.

Still six points ahead of bitter rivals Real Madrid (who have a game in hand), Barça’s vaunted attack will look to punish a Celta side currently sitting in the bottom half while owning the second-worst defensive record in the league.

Here’s how Flick has lined up his troops for the exciting encounter at the Estadio Abanca Balaídos.

Robert Lewandowski, Raphinha and Dani Olmo all remain in the XI, while Lamine Yamal is expected to not have been included in the squad due to ongoing injury problems.
