Frank Rijkaard has only sixteen first team players available for Sunday evening’s match with Mallorca. This will be Rijkaard’s last home match in charge and he has brought in two players from the B team, Rafael Romero Serrano, known as “Fali†who will wear number 37 shirt, and Jose Manuel Rueda, who will wear number 38, to make up the numbers. Fali is 22 years old and normally plays at right back while the 20-year-old Rueda plays in midfield.
Barça have a problem in midfield as Iniesta and Gudjohnsen are both injured and Marquez and Xavi are both suspended. Ronaldinho, Sylvinho and Milito are also out injured, but Eto’o and Deco return after missing the game with Madrid through suspension. There really is very little to play for in this game for Barça. We have nothing to get, as we cannot finish second anymore, but we also have nothing to lose as we already have a top four place mathematically secure.
The squad list: Valdés, Pinto, Thuram, Fali, Abidal, Oleguer, Puyol, Zambrotta, EdmÃlson, Touré Yaya, Deco, Rueda, Giovani, Bojan, Eto’o, Ezquerro, Henry and Messi.
