FC Barcelona squad named for La Liga match against Levante

Barcelona, 4 April — Hansi Flick has finalised his 23-man selection for Sunday’s pivotal La Liga encounter with Levante at Camp Nou, a fixture the Catalans must win to keep pace at the summit of the table.

The German coach has welcomed back two key performers: midfielder Pedri returns after a four-week lay-off with a hamstring complaint, while January acquisition Marcus Rashford has been cleared following a knee issue. Both are included in the travelling party, offering immediate reinforcements to a squad bruised by consecutive defeats.

Gavi, who has recently resumed partial training after his own knee setback, remains unavailable for competitive minutes, and Andreas Christensen continues his rehabilitation from a long-term injury.

In goal, Flick will choose between Joan Garcia, Wojciech Szczesny and 17-year-old Diego Kochen. The defensive contingent comprises João Cancelo, Alejandro Balde, Ronald Araujo, Pau Cubarsí, Gerard Martín, Jules Kounde and Eric Garcia. Midfield options include Pedri, Fermín López, Marc Casadó, Dani Olmo, Frenkie de Jong, Marc Bernal and academy product Tommy Marqués. Up front, Ferran Torres, Robert Lewandowski, Lamine Yamal, Raphinha, Rashford and Roony Bardghji provide the firepower.

Kick-off is scheduled for 16:15 CET/WAT, 15:15 GMT, 10:15 ET, 07:15 PT and 20:45 IST.
