FC Barcelona Squad Named for 1st Leg of Copa Del Rey Round of 16


Coach Luis Enrique has selected 18 players for the Round of 16 CdR clash with Elche


The next Barcelona match is upon us. Finally. After a week full of rumors and speculations about the future of coaches and players and the club itself, it's good to have a little football to watch and care about. Barça face Elche in the first leg of the Copa Del Rey's Round of 16, and coach Luis Enrique has already released the squad list for the match.


And there's one last-minute absence. Barça's medical staff confirmed that Xavi Hernández will not play tonight due to a left leg injury. They say it's not serious, but it will keep Xavi from appearing against Elche. The other injury absentee is Thomas Vermaelen, who's still recovering from surgery in his groin.


Per Enrique's decision, Claudio Bravo, Sergio Busquets, Rafinha Alcântara, Douglas Pereira and Jérémy Mathieu will get a day off. Two Barça B players are part of the squad tonight: Sergi Samper and Munir El-Haddadi.


This is the 18-man squad list:



Goalkeepers: 1. Marc-André ter Stegen, 25. Jordi Masip


Defenders: 2. Martín Montoya, 3. Gerard Piqué, 14. Javier Mascherano, 15. Marc Bartra, 18. Jordi Alba, 21. Adriano, 22. Dani Alves


Midfielders: 4. Ivan Rakitic, 8. Andrés Iniesta, 20. Sergi Roberto, 26. Sergi Samper


Forwards: 7. Pedro Rodríguez, 9. Luis Suárez, 10. Lionel Messi, 11. Neymar Jr., 31. Munir El-Haddadi



Expected Starting Lineup (4-3-3):


ter Stegen; Alves, Piqué, Bartra, Adriano; Samper, Roberto, Iniesta; Munir, Messi, Neymar
