Barcelona manager Josep Guardiola has earlier today announced the list of 18 players for the fourth game of the Spanish league against Betis Sevilla tomorrow evening at 8 pm.
The list:
Valdés, Pinto,
Alves, Márquez, Piqué, Puyol, Cáceres, Abidal,
Xavi, Touré, Keita, Iniesta, Gudjohnsen, Busquets,
Messi, Eto'o, Bojan, Henry
Thierry Henry returns to the list after having fully recovered from a soar throat (read more here). The French striker taking Pedro's place is the only change compared to the Sporting list.
Barcelona Atlètic player Sergio Busquets stays with the first team while Sylvinho and Víctor Sánchez are again not included. Jorquera, Hleb and Milito are not available because of injuries.

guardiola leaves pedro again out,it seems he wants to give bojan some time,
i dont like the time that he does this(after the media talked)but still i agree with this style,
play with the best 11 and then when you have your score put in the youngster to gain experience like on sunday.
sergi busquets is different,it seems guardiola will always play with 2 dmcs and he likes the pair keita/sergi and doesnt like toure......
i dont mind keita with sergi are doing great at the moment,some defence faults but its still too soon to tell.
i expect to go again with a 4-3-3 here the same system with some minor changes ,i expect a starting spot for caceres in the left ,with puyol and marquez in the middle dani in the right,in the middle the pair sergi/keita xavi infront of the two,and messi/iniesta/eto to start upfront ,
3 subs bojan for eto(once we have a 2 goal advantage),henry for iniesta and pique for a cb .
we need the 3 points here and i think we wont have a problem
I cannot understand why you include Gudjohnsen and leave Pedro (our only real winger) out... Gudjohnsen cannot add anything new. Although I think it's a great guy, I really hope he leaves in January because now he's just blocking the young guys.
I agree that Guddy is blocking the young guys. Personally i would prefer this line-up:
Valdes - Alves, Puyol, Marquez, Abidal - Touré, Xavi, Iniesta - Messi, Eto'o, Henry
seems guardiola is hell bent on driving yaya out of camp nou...so frustrating how such a good player is warming the bench for us ...lets jst hope heez not too effected by this and does decide to stay
PEP PLEASE PLAY TOURE!!!!!
i really wish keita will start giving us some closer shots. not even asking for goals here, just better executed shots.
Comments from Yaya about his playing situation brim with confidence and professionalism. He played every match last season, and broke down. Giving him rest early in the season also gives Guardiola a chance to see how players such as Busquets work. He can also work Keita into the rotation.
I don't think that the objective is to drive Yaya away. Guardiola and the technical staff know better than that, and Yaya's comments make it clear that discussions have been had about his playing time and situation. He had back surgery. Why not ease him in gradually?
Betis has yet to score a goal in the league, a streak they kept intact with a pretty toothless display against Sevilla (good match, though....lots of fire). We should be in good shape defensively aginst them.
On the other hand Yaya said that he is 100% after the operation. Not every player whine about their situation to the press but almost everyone want to leave if they don't get any playtime. I think he had a total of 90 minutes (1 start and 1 sub) so far and I don't think he's very happy about that.
I agree that Gudi presence in the selection block the youth way, in case pepe don't have a good reason - that i don't c.
Regarding Yaya situation, I guess I gave my openion about it more than once, some people just like to make a case from no case, busqi vs yaya, bojan vs pedro, kieta vs yaya.. and so....
I think there is nothing we can do to change that.
