FC Barcelona

Last updated: Sun 02 September 2018 10:16
In Brief

Barcelona have no suspensions for this game. They are still without the injured Carles Alena, Sergi Samper and Denis Suarez.

Looking Back

Barcelona have had the perfect start to the season, as they won the Spanish Super Cup by beating Sevilla 2-1 and they have won their first two LaLiga games, beating Alaves 3-0 and Real Valladolid 1-0.

Looking Ahead

There are no Barcelona players suspended for this match.

Young central midfielder Carles Alena remains out with a long-term injury to his right hamstring.

Backup central midfielder Denis Suarez has a more minor hamstring injury and he remains out too.

Backup midfielder Sergi Samper is out too as he works back to full fitness after a serious injury.

Backup goalkeeper Jasper Cillessen suffered a knock in training and he missed last weekend's game, but he has now recovered and is included in this squad.

Points of Interest

Paco Alcacer has just left the club, while Rafinha is linked with a move away as well.

Huesca

Last updated: Sun 02 September 2018 10:19
In Brief

Huesca do not have any suspensions for this one. They also have no injuries.

Looking Back

Newly promoted Huesca are still undefeated, having won 2-1 away at Eibar in their first game of the season and having then earned a late 2-2 draw away at Athletic Club last weekend.

Looking Ahead

Huesca have no players suspended for this match, while they have right-back Carlos Akapo available again after he was out for the start of the season with a suspension that had been carried over from last season. In any case, he is left out this squad for tactical reasons.

There are also no injuries for Huesca.

Points of Interest

Huesca are once again away from home. They asked to play their first three games away from home while work is done on their stadium and this is the third of those three.
