# Barcelona: Fans rage that Arthur isn’t in tonight’s squad

**Barcelona midfielder Arthur has been left out of tonight’s squad for the Catalans’ clash against Slavia Prague at the Camp Nou.**

\[freshpress-poll id=”257313″\]

The Brazilian has started six league games for Barca this term, alongside all of the Blaugrana’s matches in Europe but has been left out of the squad for this evening’s visit of Slavia (via [Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/arthur/leistungsdaten/spieler/362842)).

Indeed, this has confused parts of the club’s support, who have been left completely baffled by his exclusion.

Arthur featured for the final [24 minutes](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/arthur/leistungsdaten/spieler/362842) of Saturday’s shock 3-1 La Liga defeat to Levante, coming off the bench to replace teenage winger Ansu Fati, but was left out of the squad which beat Real Valladolid 5-1 last Tuesday. Prior to that, he had started the club’s previous four league games – each of those games Barcelona had [won](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/arthur/leistungsdaten/spieler/362842).

Fans are unsurprisingly perplexed with the lack of Arthur in Barcelona’s matchday squad for tonight’s clash, as shown by these Tweets below..

> What is the reason for not keeping Arthur in XI? Valverde is an abyss.

> Leaving Arthur out?!? Really? Are you mad? This coach is clueless and as long as he’s there, Barca will never win the Champions. Hope they’ll lose tomorrow. No Arthur, no fun! [#ValverdeOut](https://twitter.com/hashtag/ValverdeOut?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw)

> Arthur? Barca’s management must learn from [@FCBayern](https://twitter.com/FCBayern?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) and let Valverde go!
