Belletti back in, Thuram out

Juliano Belletti is back in the squad after being sidelined for the game against Betis. Zambrotta also returns, while Thuram is still out.

Frank Rijkaard therefore has at his disposal a total of 17 first team players. Finally, Lilian Thuram has been unable to shake off a knock he picked up in his left calf muscle.

Both Belletti and Thuram have the opportunity to face Celta on Sunday. Belletti has recuperated from an injury to his left knee, while Zambrotta missed the last game as a precaution after picking up a muscle strain.

Sylvinho and Marquez out

Sylvinho and Marquez join Thuram on the list of players unavailable. Marquez is suspended due to picking up five yellow cards. Silvinho, on the other hand, picked up an injury at the end of Friday's training session, ruling him out for four weeks.

Two Barça C players in training session

This morning's training session saw both Victor Sanchez and Josue Fernandez accompany the rest of the squad. The midfielder and defender took part in the entire session.

The complete list

Valdés, Belletti, Motta, Puyol, Xavi, Gudjohnsen, Giuly, Ronaldinho, Zambrotta, Gio, Edmílson, Ezquerro, Deco, Saviola, Oleguer, Iniesta and Jorquera.
