Both Lionel Messi and Neymar have been named in the Barcelona squad to face Elche in the last 16 first-leg Copa del Rey tie on Thursday.
With the club seemingly in turmoil on and off the pitch, boss Luis Enrique is expected to use the game as an opportunity to rotate his squad before the important League clash with Atletico Madrid this Sunday.
However, the South American pair are included despite having started the 1-0 defeat to Real Sociedad last weekend on the bench, with stories circulating in the Spanish Press this week that Messi and Enrique did not exactly see eye-to-eye.
The Barcelona squad is: Ter Stegen, Masip, Montoya, Pique, Rakitic, Xavi, Pedro, Suarez, Messi, Neymar, Mascherano, Bartra, Jordi Alba, S. Roberto, Adriano, Alves, Samper and Munir.
Defender Jeremy Mathieu is injured and misses the game, while Claudio Bravo, Sergio Busquets, Andres Iniesta, Rafinha and Douglas are all left out for technical reasons.
