Barcelona will be without the services of six first-team players for Monday's La Liga contest with Cadiz.

Gerard Pique was named in the squad for the Europa League contest with Eintracht Frankfurt last week after battling back from a groin problem, but the centre-back was ultimately not involved in the quarter-final second leg, and he has also been left out of the squad for this match.

Fellow defender Ronald Araujo will miss the clash with Cadiz through suspension, while Pedri is likely to be absent for the remainder of the season with the hamstring problem that he suffered against Frankfurt.

Ansu Fati, Sergi Roberto and Samuel Umtiti have all recently returned to training after long absences through injury.

However, the trio have again been left out of the squad, with head coach Xavi deciding that the trio are not yet ready to be included.

Dani Alves is back in the squad after being ineligible to feature in the Europa League, and the veteran will seemingly battle Sergino Dest for the right-back spot on Monday night.

Meanwhile, the absence of both Pique and Araujo could open the door for Clement Lenglet, who has struggled for action under Xavi, to start alongside Eric Garcia in the middle of the defence.

Gavi, meanwhile, will hope to benefit from Pedri's absence to feature in the middle of the park.

Barcelona squad:

Ter Stegen, Neto, Tenas; Dest, Alves, Lenglet, Alba, Mingueza, E Garcia, Balde; Busquets, Puig, Nico, F de Jong, Gavi; Dembele, Memphis, Traore, Braithwaite, L de Jong, Ferran, Aubameyang body check tags ::
