Sevilla defender Adil Rami is confident that he will be fit to face Barcelona in the Copa del Rey final this weekend.

The Frenchman had to be replaced in the latter stages of Wednesday's Europa League final, when Sevilla came from one goal behind to beat Liverpool 3-1 and win the competition for a third time in succession.

It had been claimed that the strain could keep the centre-back out of the Barcelona clash on Sunday, but Rami has insisted that he will be present at the Vicente Calderon.

"It was just a strain and it was impossible to move. It was better to go off [and] we needed fresh people. But I do not have a serious injury. I will be able to play the final," Rami told reporters.

Rami, 30, joined Sevilla from AC Milan in 2015.
