Barcelona names 22-man squad for Istanbul visit with key absences

Barcelona has released its 22-man squad for the trip to Galatasaray on Tuesday for the Champions League league-phase round two, as the team boards for Istanbul. Hansi Flick’s goal is to build on the 5-1 opening win over Feyenoord.

The list includes no Raphinha or Frenkie de Jong, with Andreas Christensen and Roony Bardghji also missing. Flick previewed the situation in the lead-up to the Saturday league match at Getafe (3-0).

Joan Laporta leads the delegation departing 09:45 from El Prat, with the group set for media sessions and training at RAMS Park. Eric García is the main new face: he will make his Champions League 2026-27 debut after serving a suspension for a straight red in last season’s quarter-final second leg against Atlético Madrid at the Metropolitano. Laporta said Raphinha is expected back against Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday the 20th, while Frenkie de Jong is targeted for the Sevilla match after three and a half months out.
