As Barcelona get set to take on Royal Antwerp in their final group game of the UEFA Champions League tomorrow in Belgium, manager Xavi Hernandez had already released the squad list of players he will be taking on the trip yesterday.
The manager had initially opted to rest heavyweights like Ilkay Gundogan, Robert Lewandowski, Frenkie de Jong, and Ronald Araujo.
But Xavi has now proceeded to add three of the four aforementioned players to the squad list, with De Jong the only one given a rest as he is recovering from a fever.
Apart from that, there are no other changes, with Barça going ahead on the trip with as many as ten players from youth and reserve ranks.
Gavi, Marc-Andre ter Stegen, Marcos Alonso, and Inigo Martinez are all absent with injuries.
While Gundogan, Lewandowski, and Araujo might be added to the squad list, it is unlikely that they will see major action in Belgium tomorrow night.
There is also a possibility that Joao Cancelo will also be rested while the likes of Sergi Roberto and Oriol Romeu get some minutes.
