The squad to visit San Mamés

The Copa del Rey is back with bang as Barça visit Athletic Club in San Mamés (9:30 pm CET), with a spot in the next round of this knockout competition up for grabs. The stadium brings back good memories for Barça's coach, who be attempting to guide Barça through to the quarter-finals.

Xavi has named 22 players for the game and there are changes. Martin Braithwaite has been declared fully fit and will be going to. However, Memphis is still not recovered from a hamstring problem. 

The complete squad is as follows: Ter Stegen, Dest, Piqué, R. Araujo, Sergio, Riqui Puig, Dani Alves, Ansu Fati, Braithwaite, Neto, Lenglet, Pedri, Jordi Alba, Ferran, F. De Jong, O. Mingueza, Nico, Jutglà, Gavi, Balde, Ez Abde and Arnau Tenas.

It means there is no place in the side for Ousmane Dembélé, as well as the injured Sergi Roberto, Samuel Umtiti and Eric Garcia, while Luuk de Jong misses out through suspension.
