Oscar Mingueza to join up with Barcelona B for promotion push

Oscar Mingueza will not face Celta Vigo on Sunday for Barcelona as he’s been recalled to Barca B for the team’s crucial promotion play-off clash against UCAM Murcia on Sunday in Extremadura.

It’s a huge game for Francisco Javier García Pimienta who will head to the finals of the playoffs with a win and be just one game away from promotion to the Spanish second division next season.

Mingueza’s absence does leave Ronald Koeman a little short of defensive options for Sunday’s match, although Ronald Araujo did take part in training on Friday morning despite being forced off with an ankle injury against Levante.
