Hansi Flick omits one Barcelona player from the squad for Valencia match

Summary

Barcelona manager Hansi Flick must leave one player out of his matchday squad for the upcoming La Liga meeting with Valencia at Mestalla on Sunday. The club currently holds 24 available players, including the returning Gavi and new signing Gabriel Jesus. Squad regulations permit only 23 players to be named, forcing the manager to make his first personnel reduction of the season due to an overbooked roster. Barcelona travels to the match looking for a fourth consecutive victory to begin the defense of their league title. The travelling party was unveiled on Saturday afternoon, with the final roster set to exclude one member who was originally part of the wider training group.
