Barcelona squad named for UEFA Champions League match against AS Roma

The next Barcelona match is upon us! It's matchday five of the UEFA Champions League group stage, and the Blaugrana face an important challenge at home against AS Roma. Leading Group E with 10 points, the defending champions need a draw to advance to the knockout stage, and a victory to clinch the group.

Following the fantastic victory in El Clásico, coach Luis Enrique and the team want to continue building momentum and has called up his best available players to form the squad for Tuesday's matchup. Unfortunately, Javier Mascherano, who suffered a groin knock at Bernabéu, did not recover in time and is out against the Italians.
