FC Barcelona coach Ernesto Valverde named his squad for the upcoming La Liga match against Celta Vigo, leaving out the injured Andres Iniesta, Gerard Pique, Sergio Busquets and Ivan Rakitic.
Instead, Lucas Digne, who recently received his medical discharge, Aleix Vidal and Yerry Mina were among the squad on Monday, which needs just seven points to claim the La Liga title, reports EFE news agency.
Valverde had said he would be making rotations against Celta to give a rest to some of his starting players in the lead-up to Saturday's Copa del Rey final against Sevilla.
The squad:
Marc-Andre ter Stegen, Jasper Cillessen, Nelson Semedo, Denis Suarez, Luis Suarez, Lionel Messi, Ousmane Dembele, Philippe Coutinho, Paulinho, Paco Alcacer, Jordi Alba, Lucas Digne, Sergi Roberto, Andre Gomes, Aleix Vidal, Samuel Umtiti, Yerry Mina and Thomas Vermaelen.
