Barcelona vs. Atletico Madrid: Predicted XI for Hansi Flick's side in Copa del Rey clash

Barcelona are hopeful that Lamine Yamal will be fit for Tuesday's Copa del Rey semi-final first leg against Atletico Madrid.

The Spain international took to social media to post a picture of his wounded foot after Saturday's 2-0 win over Las Palmas in La Liga, but the Catalan giants are expecting to have the 17-year-old available for selection against Atletico.

Head coach Hansi Flick will make changes from the side that started against Las Palmas, with Dani Olmo, Frenkie de Jong, Inigo Martinez and Ronald Araujo potentially all being introduced into the XI.

Bringing in Martinez and Araujo would mean changing the two starting centre-backs from Saturday's La Liga contest, while De Jong may be introduced to provide greater control in the middle of midfield.

Olmo also netted off the bench last time out and may have done enough to feature in the first XI.

Marc Bernal and Marc-Andre ter Stegen remain unavailable for selection due to long-term knee problems, but Andreas Christensen has a chance of being in the squad after recovering from his latest injury issue.

Ferran Torres scored a hat trick against Valencia in the last round of the competition and also registered off the bench late on against Las Palmas, but his spot in the first XI is currently blocked by Raphinha, Yamal and Robert Lewandowski.

Olmo instead of Gavi will certainly be in Flick's mind, though, and it would not be a surprise to see the former feature in the number 10 position against Diego Simeone's side.

Barcelona possible starting lineup: Szczesny; Kounde, Araujo, I Martinez, Balde; De Jong, Pedri; Raphinha, Olmo, Yamal; Lewandowski
