**Barcelona, Spain** – Barcelona manager Hansi Flick has named his 23-man squad for Tuesday’s crucial Champions League group stage match against Brest. The squad includes the welcome return of Eric García from a groin injury, bolstering the defense after a month-long absence. However, several key players remain sidelined.

The match will see the return of several key players, including Robert Lewandowski leading the attack, supported by Raphinha and Dani Olmo. The midfield will rely on the talents of Pedri, Frenkie de Jong, and Gavi.

Unfortunately, Lamine Yamal will miss his third consecutive game due to an ankle injury. He joins a growing injury list that includes Marc-André ter Stegen (knee), Ansu Fati (hamstring), Andreas Christensen (Achilles), and Marc Bernal (knee). Ferran Torres and Ronald Araujo are recovering from hamstring injuries but are not yet fit enough to play.

The match kicks off at 9pm CET (Barcelona time) and will be broadcast globally.

**Barcelona Squad:**

* **Goalkeepers:** Iñaki Peña, Wojciech Szczesny, Diego Kochen
* **Defenders:** Pau Cubarsí, Alejandro Balde, Iñigo Martínez, Jules Kounde, Eric García, Héctor Fort, Gerard Martín, Sergi Domínguez, Andrés Cuenca
* **Midfielders:** Gavi, Pedri, Pablo Torre, Fermín López, Marc Casadó, Dani Olmo, Frenkie de Jong, Guille Fernández

The anticipated starting eleven is expected to feature Peña in goal, with a backline of Kounde, Cubarsí, Iñigo Martínez, and Fort. Casadó, De Jong, and Pedri are likely to anchor the midfield, while Raphinha, Lewandowski, and Olmo will lead the attack.
