Barcelona boss Xavi has named a strong squad for Thursday evening's Copa del Rey last-16 contest with Ceuta.
Robert Lewandowski and Ferran Torres are both currently suspended in the league, but the duo are able to take to the field in the Copa del Rey, and they have been included in the selection for this match.
Barcelona do not currently have any first-team injuries, although Frenkie de Jong and Ronald Araujo have both been rested for the contest on Thursday night.
Xavi is expected to make changes for the match, with Hector Bellerin, Marcos Alonso, Franck Kessie and Pablo Torre among those hoping to earn starts in the cup fixture.

There is also a spot in the squad for Angel Alarcon, with the 18-year-old bidding to make his first-team debut for the Catalan giants.
There is no Memphis Depay, though, as the Netherlands international closes in on a switch to Atletico Madrid.
Barcelona will enter this match off the back of four straight wins in all competitions, including a 3-1 victory over Real Madrid in the Spanish Super Cup final on Sunday night.
Xavi's side will end the month with La Liga matches against Getafe and Girona, and they are currently at the top of the table, three points clear of second-placed Real Madrid.
