The three players will not travel to La Coruña, it having been decided it would be better for them to stay in Barcelona to prepare for the game with Manchester United. Iniesta and Milito also miss the game through suspension.


Frank Rijkaard has decided not to select any of Xavi, Messi and Eto'o for this weekend’s clash with Deportivo de La Coruña. The players will all miss the Riazor game, and concentrate instead on the trip to Manchester.

No Milito or Iniesta

The players that come in after missing the game with Manchester United are Puyol, Ezquerro, Edmílson, Oleguer and Barça B’s Pedrito.
