Barcelona manager Josep Guardiola has decided that eight players will not take part in the last game of the Champions League group stage against Shakhtar Donetsk on Tuesday. The players who are rested are Víctor Valdés, Daniel Alves, Carles Puyol, Rafael Márquez, Yaya Touré, Xavi Hernández, Lionel Messi and Thierry Henry.
Since this means that there are only fourteen first team players available, several Barcelona Atlètic players will be called-up for the Champions League game. This morning, four B-team players have been training with the group: central defender Botía, defensive midfielder Xavi Torres, midfielder Abraham and attacker Víctor Vázquez.

With all those guys out it will be even harder to predict the starting XI.
Pinto - Sanchez, Pique, Botia, Caceres - Busquets, Keita, Abraham - Hleb, Bojan, Sanchez
I think that lineup will get their asses wopped.
Any News on how Iniesta is doing? Will he be available for the Villareal game? Madrid?
It looks like Iniesta will take his time to recover properly (also because of the good results, there's no need to hurry and to take risks) and will not play anymore this year.
