Quique Setien has two important players back for his first game as Barcelona coach. On Sunday, after a light session, Marc ter Stegen and Arthur Melo were cleared fit for Granada's visit. Both players are in the squad for the game at Camp Nou (21h). 

Ter Stegen is set to return in goal in place of Neto, who played against Espanyol and in the Spanish Supercopa. The German stopper has not played yet in 2020 due to a knee problem but has trained well this week. Neto, in his absence, conceded five goals in two matches. 

As for Arthur, he has not played since the 0-1 win at Atletico Madrid on Dec. 1. The Brazilian midfielder has been sidelined with a groin problem but is now available for selection again. 

 

However, Setien is still missing several important players for his first game in the dugout. Frenkie de Jong (suspended), Luis Suarez (knee injury) and Ousmane Dembele (hamstring) are all out.
