Having tasted victory in the Spanish Super Cup final, FC Barcelona are now set to play in another cup competition, as they face Racing Santander in the Round of 16 of the Copa del Rey tonight.
The Blaugranes are the clear favorites in this game, not only because of their excellent form, but also because their opponents are coming from a lower division. As a result, Hansi Flick can afford some rotations in his team, resting some regular starters and giving minutes to some fringe players and youngsters.
Barcelona have announced the squad for this game, and the most notable addition to the squad has been that of Joao Cancelo, who was recently signed on loan from Al-Hilal.
On the other hand, Frenkie de Jong is not a part of the list as he is suspended for this game. Among the youngsters, Tommy has been called up, but Dro is not a part of the squad as he is suffering from a discomfort.
The full squad announced for this game is as follows:
