Barcelona have announced their squad for Wednesday's Champions League Round of 16 first leg against Benfica at the Estádio da Luz, with Hansi Flick selecting a strong 24-man contingent.
Benfica secured a 4-3 aggregate win over Monaco in the playoffs to earn a meeting with the Azulgranas in the last 16, who were only beaten by Liverpool in the first round.
The Catalans will be without Andreas Christensen after a calf injury and long-term injuries to Marc-Andre ter Stegen and Marc Bernal.
The Portuguese have a significant absentee in midfield as Florentino suffered a thigh injury in mid-February, so Bruno Lage will be without him, as well as the injured Bah, Silva, Gouveia, Sanches and Di Maria.
Goalkeepers: Szczesny, Inaki Pena, Kochen.
Defenders: Cubarsi, Balde, Araujo, Inigo Martinez, Gerard Martin, Hector Fort, Kounde, Eric Garcia.
Midfielders: Gavi, Pedri, Pablo Torre, Casado, Fermin, De Jong.
Forwards: Olmo, Pau Victor, Lamine Yamal, Ansu Fati, Raphinha, Ferran Torres, Lewandowski
