Montoya back for Barca

Barcelona welcome back Martin Montoya and Douglas Pereira into their squad for Saturday’s encounter with Eibar in La Liga.

The homegrown right-back had been missing with a muscle complaint, but he is deemed fit enough to regain his spot in the travelling party and will most likely replace the suspended Dani Alves.

Elsewhere, Douglas Pereira features in the 18-man squad for the first time since November after recovering from a foot injury, which has kept him sidelined since mid-January.

However, Jordi Alba joins Alves in missing the trip to Ipurua with a one-match ban, while Sergio Busquets remains on the treatment table, along with long-term casualty Thomas Vermaelen.

Barca squad in full: Ter Stegen, Bravo, Montoya, Douglas, Adriano, Bartra, Pique, Mascherano, Mathieu, Rakitic, Xavi, Sergi Roberto, Iniesta, Rafinha, Pedro, Messi, Neymar, Suarez
