Manchester City could come up against former players Ferran Torres and Eric Garcia in their friendly vs Barcelona, with Xavi naming a 27-man squad for the game.

City sold Torres in 2021 for £55m, while Garcia joined Barcelona earlier the same year on a free transfer. Both could face the Blues for the first time since leaving for the charity friendly on Wednesday at the Nou Camp to raise vital funds for former Barcelona goalkeeper and coach Juan Carlos Unzue, who has the incurable condition ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis).

Ahead of the game, Barcelona have announced their squad that will take part, including the two former City players as well as new signing Robert Lewandowski, who will be reunited with his former Bayern Munich manager Pep Guardiola.
