Barcelona Left-back comes in for Alba
New Barcelona signing Martin Braithwaite has been included in the Catalan club’s squad to face Eibar at the Camp Nou on Saturday afternoon.
The Danish striker only completed his move from Leganes on Thursday, arriving as an injury replacement for Ousmane Dembele, and he has had just one training session with his new teammates, which took place on Friday.
While Braithwaite isn’t expected to start, Quique Setien could give him a few minutes against the Basque outfit.
Setien has also named Barcelona B left-back Sergio Akieme in his squad as he comes in for the injured Jordi Alba, although Junior Firpo will likely start on Saturday.
Goalkeepers: Marc-Andre ter Stegen, Neto.
Defenders: Nelson Semedo, Gerard Pique, Clement Lenglet, Samuel Umtiti, Junior Firpo, Sergio Akieme.
Midfielders: Ivan Rakitic, Sergio Busquets, Arthur Melo, Sergi Roberto, Frenkie de Jong, Arturo Vidal.
Forwards: Lionel Messi, Antoine Griezmann, Martin Braithwaite, Ansu Fati.
