Barcelona have named a 24-player squad for Sunday’s La Liga match against Valencia at Mestalla, according to Yahoo Sports.

New signing Gabriel Jesus has received his first call-up for the club. His potential debut remains unconfirmed until the final squad and official line-ups are announced.

Gavi returns after missing Barcelona’s previous two matches with a reported knee issue. Frenkie de Jong and Roony Bardghji are reported to be absent with knee injuries.

Lamine Yamal has been included in the squad but remains doubtful after suffering a knock. His availability will not be settled until the official team selections are released.

Flick has named 24 players, although only 23 can be included in the final matchday squad. One player will therefore be omitted before the match.
