Barcelona injury, suspension news vs. Valencia: Latest updates on Gavi, Dani Olmo ahead of Copa del Rey quarter-final

Sports Mole looks at Barcelona's injury and suspension news ahead of Thursday's Copa del Rey clash with Valencia.

Barcelona will look to progress to the Copa del Rey semi-finals when they travel to Mestalla for Thursday's quarter-final tie against Valencia.

The Blaugrana enjoyed a successful outing in last month's home league meeting with Valencia, scoring five first-half goals on their way to a mammoth 7-1 victory over Carlos Corberan's side.

The Catalan giants followed that result with a 2-2 Champions League draw with Atalanta BC, before they returned to winning ways in Sunday's La Liga clash against Alaves, with Robert Lewandowski scoring the decisive goal in a 1-0 victory to move third-placed Barcelona to within four points of leaders Real Madrid.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Barcelona's injury and suspension news ahead of the clash with Valencia, who recorded a 2-1 victory in Sunday's home clash with Celta Vigo.


Dani Olmo

Status: Major doubt
Type of injury:
Possible return date: February 6 (vs. Valencia)

Olmo has sat out the last four competitive matches after picking up a calf issue. However, there is some optimism that the attacker could prove his fitness to play a role in Thursday's quarter-final tie.


Gavi

Status: Minor doubt
Type of injury: Head
Possible return date: February 6 (vs. Valencia)

Gavi was withdrawn in the first half of Sunday's win over Alaves following a nasty head clash with Tomas Conechny. Barcelona have since released a statement to confirm that all his medical tests have "come back normal" although he will continue to be "monitored" by the club's medical staff. Providing there are no after-effects, Gavi should be available to feature in the matchday squad.


Andreas Christensen

Status: Out
Type of injury: Calf
Possible return date: February 22 (vs. Las Palmas)

Christensen was on his way back from a long-term Achilles injury, before the club announced last week that he had picked up a calf problem in training, with the defender expected to be unavailable for selection for around three weeks.


Marc Bernal

Type of injury: Knee
Possible return date: Unknown

Bernal has been out of action since suffering a serious knee injury in August. The youngster will miss the remainder of the season and will be focusing on returning to full fitness ahead of the 2025-26 campaign.


Marc-Andre ter Stegen
