Barcelona team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Barbastro

Barcelona will be aiming to book their spot in the last-16 stage of the Copa del Rey when they tackle fourth-tier outfit Barbastro on Sunday evening.

The reigning champions looked to be sharing the points with Las Palmas, as the two teams were level heading into the final exchanges, only for Ilkay Gundogan to decide the contest from the penalty spot in the 93rd minute.
