Experienced defender Dani Alves has been left out of Barcelona‘s 32-man squad for the Europa League.
UEFA regulations only allow a maximum of three new additions to European squads in the middle of the campaign, and Barcelona have recently brought four new players to the club.
Ferran Torres, Adama Traore and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang have been named in the squad, meaning that there is no space for veteran right-back Alves.
The Brazilian has made four appearances for Barcelona since his return, featuring twice in the Copa del Rey, once in La Liga and once in the Spanish Super Cup.

Ousmane Dembele has been named in the squad despite suggestions that he has played his last game for the club, having failed to sign a new contract with the Catalan giants.
Barcelona will take on Italian side Napoli in the knockout round of the Europa League, with the first leg set to take place at Camp Nou on February 17 before the return on February 24.
