Barcelona<\/a> have confirmed their squad for Tuesday’s Champions League quarter-final second leg against Atletico Madrid<\/a> at\u00a0Metropolitano Stadium.<\/p>\n

Hansi Flick<\/a>‘s side suffered a 2-0 defeat to Atletico<\/a> in the first leg of their last-eight clash and are therefore up against it when it comes to a spot in the semi-finals.<\/p>\n

Pau Cubarsi<\/a> was sent off in the game with Diego Simeone’s side last week and is therefore unavailable for selection on Tuesday evening due to a suspension.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Raphinha<\/a> (hamstring) and Andreas Christensen (knee) are missing from the squad.<\/p>\n

Cubarsi, Raphinha, Christensen are missing for Barcelona<\/p>\n

Marc Bernal has been included, although the teenager’s involvement is still unclear due to a recent ankle problem, with a decision on the midfielder yet to be made.<\/p>\n

Frenkie de Jong made his return from a hamstring injury as a late substitute against Espanyol on Saturday<\/a>, and the Netherlands international is in the squad.<\/p>\n

Gerard Martin has also overcome an injury scare to be included for the trip to Madrid.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, youngsters Tommy Marques, Xavi Espart and Alvaro Cortes have all received call-ups.<\/p>\n

“Atletico is a fantastic team, but we\u2019re great too. We\u2019re going to fight for it.\u00a0We want the semi-finals, and we know we need a huge performance from the team,\u201d Flick told reporters when questioned on the Atletico match after Saturday’s clash with Espanyol.<\/p>\n

Flick is set to be joined by Lamine Yamal for Monday’s pre-match press conference, with the team travelling to Madrid early for a final training session\u00a0at the Metropolitano Stadium.<\/p>\n
