In gameweek 19 of La Liga, Barcelona will travel to Gran Canaria to face Garcia Pimienta’s Las Palmas. This matchup will take place after the Christmas break has ended, and Barcelona will be facing a team that they have previously played against.

Because of their 1-0 victory over Atletico Madrid earlier this season, Barcelona is currently in third place in La Liga. They are tied with Atletico Madrid in terms of points, but they have a head-to-head advantage.

It is likely that Xavi will want to get off to a good start in 2024 by gaining three points over the team that was recently promoted from the Canary Islands. In order to achieve this goal, he has summoned his whole arsenal.

Particularly included in this is Vitor Roque, who will be accompanying the squad on their journey. His participation, on the other hand, is contingent upon Barcelona registering him in time for the sporting event. Within the club, there is a sense of excitement; nevertheless, due to the FFP regulations of La Liga, they will have to wait until the very last second for official confirmation.

In spite of the fact that Pedri is still sidelined with an injury, his return is expected to take place after the Spanish Super Cup in Riyadh. In the meanwhile, it is anticipated that Inigo Martinez will be able to return to the competition in time for Barcelona’s semi-final match against Osasuna. On the other hand, he will not be traveling for this meeting.

According to a number of sources, Marcos Alonso and Marc-Andre ter Stegen are both absent from the squad as a result of a back issue. It is anticipated that they will not return to the team until the month of February.
