Six academy players make Barcelona trip

Barcelona head coach Luis Enrique has included six academy players in the squad for tonight's Copa del Rey semi-final clash away at Valencia.

The Catalans head to the Mestalla for the second leg with a 7-0 advantage from last week's meeting at Camp Nou.

As a result, Enrique has opted to include youngsters Wilfrid Kaptoum, Sergi Samper, Dani Romera, Juan Camara, Gerard Gumbau and Carles Alena in his 18-man travelling party.

With the tie all but wrapped up, a number of senior players have been rested, including Lionel Messi, Neymar and Luis Suarez.
