Martino picks 19 for Supercopa

Tata Martino has picked 19 players for Barcelona’s trip out to Atletico Madrid for the first leg of the Supercopa de Espana.

Adriano, who was sent off in the competition last season against Real Madrid, is absent in serving his suspension, whilst Sergi Roberto has been omitted from the selection.

Dani Alves, who received treatment earlier this week for an ankle injury, took part in the team’s final training session at the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper and is included.

Speculation is that Neymar may be handed a first official start for the Blaugrana and that it will come alongside Lionel Messi.

Jonathan dos Santos and Martin Montoya enter into the squad after missing the weekend game against Levante.

Barcelona squad to play Atletico Madrid: Valdés, Pinto, Montoya, Piqué, Fàbregas, Xavi, Pedro, Iniesta, Alexis, Messi, Neymar, Dos Santos, Mascherano, Bartra, Sergio, Jordi Alba, Tello, Dani Alves, Song
