Kevin Prince Boateng has been dropped for Barca’s away trip to face Alaves in La Liga tonight.

The Ghanaian international has struggled for playing time since joining on loan from Sassuolo in January.

Six points separate Ernesto Valverde’s team from the league title and on Tuesday they have a chance to claim three of them.

Valverde’s 18 man squad is as follows:

Ter Stegen, N. Semedo, Piqué, Sergio, Coutinho, Arthur, Suárez, Messi, O. Dembélé, Cillessen, Malcom, Lenglet, Jordi Alba, S. Roberto, Aleñá, Vidal, Umtiti and Vermaelen.

Left out are I. Rakitic, Todibo, Murillo and Boateng with Rafinha still missing due to injury.
