| Barça announce squad vs Eibar |
Coming on the back of three consecutive wins in all competitions and breaking a 10-year Anoeta curse, Barcelona travel to the Ipurúa to take on Eibar in their 19th game of the 2016/2017 La Liga season as they continue their bid to win a third successive crown.
Coach Luis Enrique has named a squad list featuring 18 Players for the game and it is sad news that star midfielder Andrés Iniesta misses out through an injury sustained during the game against Real Sociedad on Thursday. Joining the Barça Captain on the injury list is on-form midfielder Rafinha Alcántara.
The likes of Jeremy Mathieu and Marc André Ter Stegen returned to the squad after not being included for the tie at the Anoeta while Jordi Masip is left out for technical reasons. Javier Mascherano also misses out through suspension, giving space for Aleix Vidal to make a return to the squad.
