Sergio Busquets is back in the squad for the game against Deportivo de La Coruña at the weekend after Pep Guardiola named 18 players on Friday.

Gabriel Milito, Rafael Márquez and Jeffren Suárez are all omitted from the party as the Barça boss looks to rotate things after seeing his side play in midweek. Busquets missed the trip to Xerez on Wednesday through suspension.

In the second, and final, training sesión dedicated to the Depor game, Guardiola had his entire squad at his disposal and was able to select who he wanted to face teh Galicians without thinking about injuries.

On a chilly Friday morning at the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper the first team took to the training pitch and were put through their paces behind closed doors.

The players will fly to A Coruña on the day of the game as they depart from El Prat at 11.30am and land in Galicia at around 1.15pm before heading to their hotel to prepare.

Following the game in Riazor, the Barça squad will fly straight back to the Catalan capital and arrive at approximately 3am.
