Team News: Barcelona name Frenkie de Jong, Ansu Fati in XI for Dynamo Kiev clash

Barcelona name Frenkie de Jong, Ansu Fati in XI for Dynamo clash

Barcelona interim manager Sergi Barjuan has named both Frenkie de Jong and Ansu Fati in his starting XI for Tuesday's Champions League clash with Dynamo Kiev.

Frenkie de Jong and Fati have both recently been absent through injury but were part of the travelling squad for this match and have been included in the team for the European contest.

There is also a spot at the back for Clement Lenglet, with Gerard Pique facing a period on the sidelines due to a calf problem.

Gavi will seemingly be pushed forward to join Memphis Depay and Fati as part of a front three, with Nico Gonzalez and Sergio Busquets joining Frenkie de Jong in midfield.

Eric Garcia, Jordi Alba and Oscar Mingueza keep their spots at the back, while Marc-Andre ter Stegen will again feature between the sticks.

Barcelona are also boosted with the return of Ronald Araujo and Ousmane Dembele to the bench, with both players overcoming their injury problems to make the squad.

Full Barcelona XI: Ter Stegen; Mingueza, Garcia, Lenglet, Alba; Busquets, F de Jong, Nico; Gavi, Memphis, Fati
