As for tonight's action, Barcelona may recall Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez for their second leg against Celta Vigo at the Nou Camp. Coach Ernesto Valverde named a much changed starting eleven for the opening clash where it ended 1-1. The Catalans are looking for clean sweep of trophies this campaign and still remain in the hunt for an elusive treble which means the boss isn't going to take any chances. Here's Mike Fox.  

No he's not going to play because he's injured for the next three weeks. Now the Phillipe Coutinho update is over we can talk about the team news for tonight's Copa Del Rey encounter between Barcelona and Celta Vigo. Barca sit pretty at the top of La Liga but a lacklustre performance from a second string against the mid-tabled Celta has put them in danger, albeit slight, of not progressing to defend their title. The boss Valverde might have to being out the big guns even if its considered a "lesser" competition.

ERNESTO VALVERDE BARCELONA COACH "I don't think anyone is less interested in winning this competitio. I think it a statement from the gutter. Tomorrow we will go on the It would be another title for the club and we would love to win it. But to start with, we are only playing for the chance to make it to the next stage, that's what's important to us. At least it's very important to me."

This is Phillippe Coutinho, in case you haven't heard, he just signed for Barcelona from Liverpool for a club record 160 million Euros and while the Brazilian will be absent for the game, he's still dominating the talk.

ERNESTO VALVERDE BARCELONA COACH "We hope he will help us. He is a player who can play in different positions. To start with, I think he is a player who is capable of adapting to the style of this team because he is able to play either on the wing or in the centre. He moves well during scoring opportunities and also helps other players to score. He is happy to be here and we are happy that he is here. He is a great acquisition for the club."

This will also be a good chance for the former club record signing, Ousmane Dembele, to get more game time after a hamstring injury kept the Frenchman sidelined for four months. Sergio Busquets could also come into the picture with Messi and Suarez probably the most lucrative options to have in world football right now.
