Without medical report<\/h2>\n\n\nThere is no medical report on Asencio nor any apparent ailment of the 23-year-old defender, who surprisingly will not travel on the expedition that will leave for Munich this Tuesday.\n\nAfter resting in Friday's league match, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Antonio R\u00fcdiger are back. Also the Argentinian Franco Mastantuono, who has served a suspension cycle for accumulation of cards. For this reason, Aur\u00e9lien Tchouam\u00e9ni has not been included and Thibaut Courtois and Rodrygo Goes have been left out due to injury. Jes\u00fas Fortea, Manuel \u00c1ngel and Daniel Y\u00e1\u00f1ez have also been dropped from the list compared to Girona.\n\nThe complete list of those called up consists of goalkeepers Lunin, Fran Gonz\u00e1lez and Javi Navarro; defenders Carvajal, Militao, Alaba, Trent, Carreras, Fran Garc\u00eda, R\u00fcdiger, Mendy and Huijsen; midfielders Bellingham, Camavinga, Valverde, G\u00fcler, Ceballos and Thiago Pitarch; and forwards Vin\u00edcius, Mbapp\u00e9, Gonzalo, Brahim and Mastantuono.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
