Team News: Pedro recalled to Barcelona side

Barcelona coach Luis Enrique recalls Pedro for his team's Champions League clash against Paris Saint-Germain.

Winger Pedro has been included in the Barcelona side for their Champions League encounter with Paris Saint-Germain.

The Spaniard has replaced Munir El Haddadi as coach Luis Enrique opts for experience at the Parc des Princes.

Javier Mascherano and Jeremy Mathieu start in central defence, with Gerard Pique taking a place on the bench, while goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen is preferred to Claudio Bravo.

PSG, who only secured a point on matchday one against Ajax, are missing star men Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Thiago Silva for the visit of the Catalan giants.

Ibrahimovic's absence has resulted in Lucas Moura being drafted into the side, while Marquinhos starts alongside David Luiz in central defence.

Paris Saint-Germain: Sirigu; Van der Wiel, Marquinhos, Luiz, Maxwell; Motta, Matuidi, Verratti; Pastore, Cavani, Lucas
Subs: Douchez, Cabaye, Camara, Bahebeck, Aurier, Chantome, Digne

Barcelona: Ter Stegen; Alves, Mascherano, Mathieu, Alba; Rakitic, Busquets, Iniesta; Pedro, Messi, Neymar
Subs: Pique, Xavi, Bravo, Sergi, Adriano, Ramirez, El Haddadi
