Journalist Toni Juanmarti pointed out on Twitter that Barcelona only have 7 first-team players for the game against Mallorca.

Mingueza, Eric, Pique, Araujo, Dest (if he has recovered), FDJ, Riqui, Coutinho and Luuk de Jong(if he is still available on Jan 2nd).

Xavi will have to choose from the second team for the lineup of a La Liga match. His squad list may possibly include Nico, Abde, Jutglà, Ilias, Álvaro Sanz and Mika.
