A whole message for things to come: Ronald Koeman, the Barcelona coach, released his first squad list for this Saturday’s friendly match against Nástic. The Dutchman made it clear who he will have for next season and who he will not: that is how he left out the players Luis Suárez and Arturo Vidal, and included Lionel Messi and Felipe Coutinho, with only one week of training.
For this first game, Koeman, indicated that he will stop two different teams to begin to give shooting and minutes on the court to all the players. That is why eleven different players will have their chance in the two 45-minute halves.
In the list of 25 summoned, in addition to the absence of the two forwards, the absences of Rafinha Alcántara, Moussa Wague and Matheus Fernandes are surprising. Nor are the three new signings of the Culé team: Miralem Pjanic, Trincao and Pedri. Not the injured, Ansu Fati, Marc-André Ter Stegen and Samuel Umtiti.
The absence of Suárez confirms Koeman’s interest in getting rid of the forward and Juventus’s interest in staying with him grows. Everything indicates that the Uruguayan this week will carry out the corresponding medical examinations and the procedures to obtain his Italian passport, and thus have a free way to join the Turin team.
Meanwhile, the Chilean Vidal is thinking of giving up his last year of contract with the Spanish team and thus be free to sign with a new club.
The complete list of players: Neto, Iñaki Peña, Arnau Tenas, Nelson Semedo, Piqué, Sergio Busquets, Griezmann, Messi, Dembélé, Lenglet, Jordi Alba, Braithwaite, Sergi Roberto, Frenkie de Jong, Junior, Coutinho, Aleñá, Trincao, Pedri, Riqui Puig, Araujo, Cuenca, Miranda, Konrad and Ilaix Moriba.
This Saturday, they announced who will be the Barcelona captains for this new season. Lionel Messi will maintain his captaincy, which he has had since 2018 when Andrés Iniesta left the club. The second captain will be Sergio Busquets, Gerard Piqué and Sergi Roberto.
