Big news for Barcelona ahead of their crucial Europa League quarterfinal second leg against Eintracht Frankfurt as Sergiño Dest and Memphis Depay have been medically cleared and named in Xavi Hernández’s squad for Thursday’s game at Camp Nou.
Dest’s return is especially crucial given Barça will be without Dani Alves who is not available for the Europa League, and the American will be in contention to start at right-back which will be a big boost to a Barça defense still missing Gerard Piqué.
Speaking of Piqué, the center-back has been included in the 24-man squad but hasn’t been given the medical green light yet, and footage from Wednesday’s training session didn’t do much to improve his chances of being fit enough for Thursday.
