Xavi and Martín Cáceres are in the squad announced this Monday by Pep Guardiola for Wednesday’s Champions League game at Basle.
The Barça manager has called up 19 players for the trip to Basle where on Wednesday the team plays
its third CL group stage game. The squad that travelled to Bilbao has been joined by Xavi
Hernández, who this Monday was declared fit by club doctors after hamstring problems, and Martín
Cáceres, who wasn’t called up for Sunday’s game.
Both Márquez and Touré, who picked up niggles at San Mamés, were declared fit today after a
series of medical tests.
Missing in Basle will be Keita, who will be out for a fortnight, and Jorquera, who has been
left out by Guardiola. Keita thus joins the injury list of Gudjohnsen, Pedro and Milito.
The squad
Valdés, Pinto, Alves, Víctor Sánchez, Puyol, Márquez, Martín Cáceres, Piqué, Abidal, Sylvinho,
Busquets, Touré, Iniesta, Xavi, Bojan, Hleb, Henry, Eto'o and Messi.
