Barcelona vs Levante: Dembélé was left out of the squad again despite having served his suspension [PHOTOS].

The absence of forward Ousmane Dembélé, despite having already served his two-match suspension, is the main novelty in the FC Barcelona squad to face Levante at the Ciutat de València on Saturday.

In addition to the French striker, Ernesto Valverde has left out midfielder Carles Aleñá and defender Moussa Wagué for technical decision. French defender Samuel Umtiti continues to be out due to injury.

Meanwhile, midfielder Arthur Melo and defender Junior Firpo return to a squad that includes 19 players, so the Barcelona coach will have to discard one before the match.

The 19 players that Valverde takes to Valencia are: Ter Stegen, Neto, Piqué, Lenglet, Todibo, Jordi Alba, Semedo, Junior, Sergi Roberto, De Jong, Arturo Vidal, Rakitic, Sergio Busquets, Arthur, Luis Suárez, Messi, Griezmann, Carles Pérez and Ansu Fati. EFE

The Barcelona vs Levante match this Saturday is scheduled for 10 a.m. (Peruvian time) and will be broadcasted throughout Latin America on DirecTV. The azulgrana will be the sole leaders of the tournament if they leave Ciudad de Valencia with the three points.
