On Saturday night, Real Sociedad will present Barcelona with a formidable challenge as the Catalan club attempts to get back on track after suffering a defeat in the El Clasico against Real Madrid the previous week.

The roster for the upcoming match, which will be a difficult one and will be played away at Anoeta, has been declared by the manager of Barcelona, Xavi Hernandez.

The crucial midfielder Pedri, who had been sidelined for more than two months owing to a medical issue, has been given the all-clear and is now rejoining the club. The issue that had kept Pedri from playing had been resolved. This is an extremely important piece of data to have.

The same cannot be said for fellow midfielder Frenkie de Jong, who will not participate in this match for Barcelona since he has not yet achieved a full recovery from the ankle injury he sustained in September. The injury occurred in September.

A number of players, including Raphinha, Robert Lewandowski, and Jules Kounde, have been reinstated to the matchday roster for El Clasico. On the other side, Sergi Roberto was not selected in the matchday lineup at all.

In addition, the list includes Marc Casado, who serves as the captain of the Barca Atletico team. However, Marc Guiu, who has been a staple in the lineup as of late, is not included in the squad because he is now competing for Spain at the FIFA U-17 World Cup.
