Official: Dembele dropped from Barcelona squad list vs Bilbao
Ousmane Dembele has been left out of Barcelona’s 22-man squad for the Copa Del Rey game against Athletic Bilbao on Thursday.
This comes amid the tensions around the Frenchman’s contract situation and Xavi has decided to leave him out of the squad.
Martin Braithwaite makes a return from injury and could make his first appearance since August.
Memphis Depay is another notable absentee from the squad as he recovers from an injury as well.
Barca’s 22-man squad for Athletic Bilbao clash:
Goalkeepers: Marc-Andre ter Stegen, Neto, Arnau Tenas
Defenders: Sergino Dest, Gerard Pique, Ronald Araujo, Dani Alves, Clement Lenglet, Oscar Mingueza, Jordi Alba, Alejandro Balde
Midfielders: Sergio Busquets, Pedri, Gavi, Nico, Frenkie de Jong, Rique Puig
Forwards: Ferran Torres, Abde Ezzalzouli, Ansu Fati, Ferran Jutgla, Martin Braithwaite
*Luuk de Jong is suspended for the game, hence not in the squad.
