Official: Barcelona squad list against Barbastro | Copa del Rey

Barcelona will hope to gain some much-needed confidence tonight as they shift their attention to the Copa del Rey before the Spanish Super Cup in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia this weekend.

The Catalans have been drawn against Union Deportivo Barbastro for the Round of 32 of the Kings’ Cup.

Inigo Martinez is back for this game after missing the last month or so with injury. The Spaniard was among Barcelona’s most in-form players before being sidelined, and his return is a huge boost for Xavi and co.

Alejandro Balde, meanwhile, has been ruled out of action for tonight due to illness, and will not be travelling with the rest of the team. Similarly, Joao Cancelo’s knock against Las Palmas rules him out of contention for this clash.

Vitor Roque, meanwhile, made his debut against Las Palmas this midweek, coming off the bench, and is also a part of the traveling team today. With no Marc Guiu in the side, he is expected to start the game over Robert Lewandowski.

Fermin Lopez, Hector Fort, Astralaga, Aron Yaakobishvili, Marc Casado, Pau Cubarsi, and Pau Victo have been called from the youth sides. Casado, Fort, and Fermin are even in contention to be in the starting lineup.
