Barcelona squad list for UCL game against Benfica

After Sunday's difficult episode and the postponement of Barca-Osasuna, Los Cules host Benfica as they look to qualify for the quarter-finals of the Champions League. Hours before the match, the club shared the squad list drawn up by Hansi Flick.

In the list of those called up by the coach, the absence of Pau Cubarsi stands out. The central defender was sent off after 22 minutes of the first leg for bringing down Pavlidis as he was heading alone towards the Barca box, so he will miss this game through suspension.

Aside from Cubarsi, the three injured players - Marc-Andre ter Stegen, Marc Bernal and Andreas Christensen - are also missing. And although it is no surprise, Robert Lewandowski has been called up after being left out of the Osasuna squad with some discomfort.

Flick confirmed at his press conference on Monday that the striker was in good condition and that, although he was advised not to take part in the match that did not take place on Saturday, he would play against Benfica without any problems.

Full squad for Barca vs Benfica:

Goalkeepers: Szczesny, Inaki Pena, Diego Kochen

Defenders: Inigo Martínez, Jules Kounde, Ronald Araujo, Eric Garcia, Balde, Hector Fort, Gerard Martin.

Midfielders: De Jong, Pedri, Gavi, Pablo Torre, Marc Casado, Fermín López, Dani Olmo.

Forwards: Lewandowski, Raphinha, Ferran Torres, Ansu Fati, Pau Victor, Lamine Yamal.
