Barcelona have confirmed their squad for the Valencia clash after officially launching the list of available players.
FC Barcelona’s technical staff completed their final matchday logistics on Saturday afternoon as preparations draw to a close for Sunday’s demanding La Liga encounter against Valencia at Mestalla.
Seeking to extend their perfect start to the 2026/27 domestic campaign, Hansi Flick has finalized his traveling contingent following a series of intense tactical sessions at the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper.
According to the official Barcelona squad list, the headline inclusions in Flick’s 24-man traveling list are marquee summer acquisitions Gabriel Jesus and Dominik Livaković.
Both players were officially processed through La Liga’s registration system over the past week and have earned their first official squad call-ups under the German manager.
While Croatian goalkeeper Livaković is expected to start on the bench behind Joan García, Brazilian international Gabriel Jesus is pushing strongly for immediate minutes up front following an impressive week in team training.
The squad announcement also delivers two massive relief points on the injury front.
Teenage talisman Lamine Yamal has been included in the traveling list after fully overcoming an isolated knock sustained during earlier match action.
Additionally, star midfielder Gavi makes his highly anticipated return to matchday contention having missed Barcelona’s last two league fixtures.
Youngster Brian Fariñas also retains his spot alongside fellow La Masia talents Xavi Espart and Marc Bernal.
However, the 24-player list presents Flick with an immediate administrative constraint. La Liga regulations strictly limit official matchday rosters to a maximum of 23 players.
Consequently, the German head coach will be forced to leave one healthy first-team player out of the final team sheet before kickoff at Mestalla.
With high operational stakes and vital points on the line, Barcelona enter the fixture with maximum tactical flexibility across all departments.
