Barcelona's quest for a fifth Copa del Rey triumph in six years continues on Thursday with a trip to Athletic Bilbao in the quarter-finals.
The Catalan giants survived a scare against Ibiza before overcoming Leganes with a comfortable 5-0 win in the last round.
Quique Setien named a strong side against Leganes and that will likely be the case for the clash with Athletic, although that depends on which players are available.

Neto, who played the full 90 minutes against Ibiza in the last round of the Copa del Rey, was not involved against Valencia or Levante due to an ankle sprain. The club's number two goalkeeper has not been officially ruled out of this match, although the Brazilian faces a fight to prove his fitness.

Arturo Vidal was ruled out of the win against Levante because of bruising to his thigh. The Chile international, who has struggled to hold down a starting spot in the side this term, is unlikely to be facing any serious length of time on the sidelines.
