Barcelona will be aiming to take another step towards Copa del Rey success when they take on fellow La Liga outfit Granada in Wednesday's quarter-final.
Ronald Koeman's men recently avenged their Supercopa de Espana defeat to Athletic Bilbao by beating them 2-1 in the top flight, with Lionel Messi scoring a sublime free kick before Antoine Griezmann wrapped up the win.
The second-placed Catalan giants now find themselves ahead of reigning champions Real Madrid in the table, and they head into their Copa del Rey tie having already beaten Cornella and Rayo Vallecano to reach the last eight.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of Barcelona's latest injury and suspension news ahead of Wednesday's quarter-final.

As is the case with Fati, Gerard Pique suffered a knee injury back in November against Atletico Madrid. However, the experienced centre-back is thought to be ahead of schedule in his recovery and could potentially return before April.

Philippe Coutinho is Barcelona's third knee-related absentee, but unlike Pique, the attacker has undergone surgery to address the problem. The Brazilian will now focus on his recovery for the next couple of months, but should return before the season is over.
BARCELONA'S SUSPENSION LIST
Sergio Busquets was suspended for the league clash with Athletic but is back here, meaning that Barcelona have no players suspended for Wednesday's quarter-final.
