Copa | Quarterfinal: FC Barcelona - Espanyol 2-1 agg.

[Windhook]

Suarez will rest against Alaves because he got his fifth yellow.

Oh, yeah, that booking against Betis was really stupid.

 

[Barcaman]

Or smart.

 

[serghei]

Paco is back vs Alaves. He was in good form before his injury.

 

[Ousmane Dembélé]

Paco is back vs Alaves. He was in good form before his injury.

He won't start in his first game back from injury. So expect the lethal or combo upfront.

Isn't he training with the full team already?

 

[Ousmane Dembélé]

Isn't he training with the full team already?

He's training with the team, but players returning from injury usually make at least one appearance off the bench before they start.

 

[Joan]

Coutinho might take care of Alaves.

 

[Barcaman]

Plenty of time for rest before this match so we should play most starters and then rest some vs. Alaves.

Then we'll (hopefully) have to step it up again for Copa semis..

 

[mesiesta]

When will squad list for this game be announced?

 

[Barcaman]

Sometime today I reckon. Afternoon?

 

[MessiTHEgoat]

We need to play our best possible lineup.
ASSpagnol will play like their lives are on the line. I hope for no injuries though.

 

[Xaviniesta]

When will squad list for this game be announced?

they usually announce it 24 hours before the game

 

[raskolnikov]

Will Mascherano play? I feel he deserves a last minute substitute in a win against Espanyol to give him a big round of applause for his contribution the last 7.5 years. If he leaves now like this its kind of like he goes out trough a side door.

 

[mesiesta]

they usually announce it 24 hours before the game

It's quite interesting if Coutinho or Mascherano are going to make the squad.

 

[Ousmane Dembélé]

Coutinho and Mina IN!
