Adriano out of derby squad

Barcelona have named their 19-man squad to play Espanyol on Friday night and Adriano has not made the cut.

The Brazilian was confirmed by the club as having suffered a hamstring injury on Tuesday evening against Celta Vigo, but without damage to the muscle.

Whilst determining him a doubt for Week 12’s opening fixture at home to local rivals Espanyol, the Brazilian has not made Tata Martino’s 19-man squad.

After being rested for the trip out to Balaidos, Gerard Pique returns.

Barcelona squad to face Espanyol: Valdés, Pinto, Montoya, Piqué, Fàbregas, Puyol, Xavi, Pedro, Iniesta, Alexis, Messi, Neymar, Mascherano, Bartra, Busquets, Song, Tello, Alves, Sergi Roberto
