OFFICIAL: Barca name 21-man squad for Olot friendly

Barcelona have confirmed the squad that will travel for the first friendly of the pre-season against Olot.

Here's the full list.

Goalkeepers: Marc-Andre ter Stegen, Inaki Pena.

Defenders: Sergino Dest, Mika Marmol, Chadi Riad, Alejandro Balde, Alex Valle, Arnau Casas.

Midfielders: Franck Kessie, Miralem Pjanic, Pedri, Nico Gonzalez, Pablo Torre, Marc Casado, Antonio Aranda.

Forwards: Alex Collado, Ansu Fati, Abde Ezzalzuli, Fabio Blanco, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Ilias Akhomach.

There are quite a few names missing here. Not counting the internationals that have only recently returned for pre-season, Xavi did not include in the squad the likes of Riqui Puig, Neto and Samuel Umtiti. This is a clear indication that he doesn't count on them for the season.
