"Later tonight, FC Barcelona will lock horns with Albacete at Estadio Carlos Belmonte, hoping to qualify for the semi-finals of the 2025/26 Copa del Rey. The Blaugrana saw off challenges from Guadalajara and Racing Santander to make it to the quarter-finals, and will be gunning to take another step forward in the defence of the trophy they won last season. Ahead of the trip to Albacete, manager Hansi Flick has now announced the squad list of players available at his disposal for the cup tie."
"Barcelona go into the game without captain Raphinha, who is out due to muscle overload. He joins Pedri, Andreas Christensen, and Gavi on the list of sidelined players. Meanwhile, academy gem Tommy Marques has earned a call-up to the squad after not being a part of the list for the weekend clash against Elche. The rest of the squad features the usual suspects, with no surprises. And the game could see Flick hand opportunities to some of the players who do not start regularly, such as Joao Cancelo, Marcus Rashford, and even Marc Bernal."
