Xavi has recovered the midfielder but is still short in defence

Barcelona coach Xavi Hernandez has named his squad for Wednesday's vital Champions League game against Inter Milan at Camp Nou.

Franck Kessie returns to the side after missing the weekend's win over Celta Vigo with a minor knock he picked up in last week's loss to Inter.

However, none of the injured defenders are back for a game Barça must win and one which Xavi has classed as a "final."

Jules Kounde might be back for Real Madrid on Sunday but he won't face Inter, neither will Héctor Bellerín, Andreas Christensen, Ronald Araujo or forward Memphis Depay.

The squad is: Ter Stegen, Iñaki Peña, Arnau Tenas, Piqué, Busquets, Dembélé, Pedri, Lewandowski, Ansu Fati, Ferran Torres, Marcos Alonso, Jordi Alba, Kessie, Sergi Roberto, De Jong, Raphinha, Eric Garcia, Balde , Casadó, Gavi and Pablo Torre.
