First official call-up of FC Barcelona for the 2025/26 season. German coach Hansi Flick has announced a list of 23 players for the match against RCD Mallorca at Son Moix.
A commitment in which the Blaugrana team will seek to start on the right foot their path towards revalidating the league title, backed by the confidence of a group that arrives in good form after a memorable preseason. The Barcelona team added four victories in four matches, three of them in Asia:
- 1-3 against Vissel Kobe
- 3-7 against FC Seoul
- 0-5 against Daegu FC
In turn, in the Ciudad Condal, the 'culés' gave a 5-0 win to Como 1907 in the 2025 Joan Gamper Trophy.

Lewandowski, Ter Stegen and more absences in FC Barcelona's 2025/26 debut
Flick will not be able to count on Robert Lewandowski, who is still recovering from muscle discomfort in the biceps femoris of his left thigh that prevented him from seeing action also in the Joan Gamper Trophy against Como 1907. Also, there is the absence of Marc-André ter Stegen, who underwent surgery on July 29 to correct lumbar problems and will remain out of action for at least four months.
In addition to this, Wojciech Szczęsny is not part of the squad as he has not been registered in time in the eyes of LaLiga, as well as the young right winger, Roony Bardghji, another illustrious absentee in this list. Added to that of the Polish goalkeeper and the Swedish striker, the situation of Gerard Martín shines, a player who, not having yet been registered in the first team and not having the option of continuing with a reserve team card, has been left off the list.

News in Hansi Flick's list: Joan García, Rashford and more
Among the good news, the additions of the season Joan García and Marcus Rashford stand out, already officially registered as players of the first team.
The other one who could see action and was not called is Marc Bernal, who, despite having the medical discharge granted since August 10, has not been included in the squad. His absence is due to the fact that his recovery is handled with notable caution, given the severity of the injury suffered on August 27, 2024: rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament of the left knee and an injury associated with the external meniscus.
Finally, and as a positive fact for several players of the B that were part of the stage in Asia, such as Jofre Torrents -called predictably to double the position of left back before the absence of Gerard Martín- and Pedro 'Dro' Fernández -one of the pleasant surprises in the offensive section of the preseason-, as well as the cousins Toni and Guille Fernández, have earned their opportunity to be among those chosen for the call-up against the 'bermellones'. Will any of them debut in official competition in this duel? Only the course of the match will tell.
