Catalunya will be without the services of the Barcelona duo for their friendly
against Colombia in Camp Nou next week, but the Blaugrana will still have four
other stars appearing.

Víctor Valdés and Xavi Hernández have been unable to commit to playing for
Catalunya against Colombia in the festive friendly at Camp Nou next week as a
number of star names dropped out.

The annual game for the team that is unrecognised by FIFA is a high profile
event, but neither of the Blaugrana stars are set to appear due to other
commitments.

Coach Pere Gratacós understands the players' reasons and has accepted that
Albert Jorquera will also not appear to avoid injury with several clubs
making enquiries about signig him.

"Xavi and Víctor both wanted to play, but in the end they had commitments
that could not be cancelled," he he told La Vanguardia.

Carles Puyol, Gerard Piqué, Bojan Krkic and Sergio Busquets are all included
in the squad from Barcelona for the game on December 28 while Sergio Gonzá
lez, Albert Lopo and Joan Verdú will come from Depor.

Real Madrid youngster Jordi Codina is in, as are Betis' Damià Abella and
Sergio García and Celtic playmaker Marc Crosas, among others for the game.

Catalunya play a friendly or two every year and have entertained Argentina
and Brazil in recent seasons in an event that is always well attended.

"It is a sporting festival for us," Gratacós continued. "We try to name the
most competitive side we can and we will certainly be going out to win."

Catalunya squad: Carles Puyol, Gerard Piqué, Bojan Krkic, Sergio Busquets
(Barcelona); Sergio González, Albert Lopo, Joan Verdú (Deportivo de La Coru
ña); Ferran Corominas, David García (Espanyol); Jordi Codina (Real Madrid);
David Belenguer (Getafe); Bruno Saltor, Carlos García, Albert Crusat (Almerí
a); Damià Abella, Sergio García (Betis); Joan Capdevila (Villarreal); Marc
Crosas (Celtic); José Miguel Morales (Sant Andreu); Jordi Matamala (Girona);
Jordi Alba (Gimnàstic).
