Barcelona have named the squad to face Cartagena in the second leg of their Copa del Rey clash, omitting Xavi Hernandez, Gerard Pique and Sergio Busquets.
With the Catalans 4-1 in the tie heading into the second leg of the Round of 32 at home on Tuesday evening, Tata Martino has opted to rest Pique and Busquets as a technical decision, whilst Xavi is also given the match off as a precaution due to an overload in his calf muscle.
For the Cup test, Adriano returns to the squad after serving a League suspension at the weekend, in a strong-looking 16-man squad without space for any B team players.
Barcelona squad to face Cartagena:Pinto, Olazábal, Montoya, Fàbregas, Puyol, Pedro, Iniesta, Alexis, Neymar Jr, Mascherano, Bartra, Song, Jordi Alba, Tello, Adriano, Sergi Roberto
