Ernesto Valverde has revealed the 18 players who will travel to Girona for Barcelona's sixth league game of the season. 

The headline is that Nelson Semedo and Gerard Deulofeu will not make the trip and neither will Arda Turan or Thomas Vermaelen. 

It's clear that Valverde is going to rotate, therefore, as both Semedo and Deulofeu started the win over Eibar in midweek. 

Returning to the squad are defender Samuel Umtiti, midfielder Andre Gomes and striker Paco Alcacer. 

Also missing are Ousmane Dembele and Rafinha, with both players sidelined with injuries for, at least, the next few weeks. 

 

The squad is: Ter Stegen, Cillessen, Umtiti, Pique, Mascherano, Alba, Digne, Sergio Busquets, Rakitic, Sergi Roberto, Andre Gomes, Iniesta, Paulinho, Aleix Vidal, Denis Suarez, Alcacer. Messi and Suarez.
