David Puig


Barça B have travelled to Vigo for their opening game in the Segona A on Saturday against Celta. Luis Enrique is missing Víctor Vázquez, Rochina and Cristian Tello for the opener.


Twelve years after being relegated, Barça B are back in the Spanish second tier and they begin their campaign with a tough game against one of the league's big boys, Celta Vigo. Luis Enrique has taken 18 players for the game at Balaidos which kicks off at 18.00, including Fontàs, Thiago and Jonathon Dos Santos who played against Milan in the Joan Gamper Trophy on Wednesday.

Injuries

Excitement in the camp

The lads have shown a great attitude and are really keen to go out and play”.

Barbarà stressed that Celta are a footballing team with “quality players, some of whom are still young and have come up through their youth system and some of whom are more experienced. They like to play the ball out from the back and take the initiative in the game”.

Captains named

The four Barça B captains have also been named: Víctor Vázquez takes over from Rueda as captain with Armando as vice captain and Fontàs and Jonathan Soriano as third and fourth captains.
