Barcelona's head coach Hans-Dieter Flick has announced the starting lineup for the Copa del Rey match against Barbastro.
Details: As is customary in domestic cup competitions, the coaching staff has made several changes.
The most notable one is that Polish goalkeeper Wojciech Szczęsny will start for the Catalan side, having come out of retirement to sign with Barça.
Another significant point is the absence of Dani Olmo and Pau Vitor, who are not even on the bench. The club failed to register the players for the second half of the season, making them ineligible to play.
Barcelona's lineup for the match against Barbastro: Szczęsny, Araújo, Martínez, Pedri, Lewandowski, Pablo Torre, Fermín, De Jong, Koundé, Eric García, Gerard Martín.
Reminder: The Round of 32 Copa del Rey clash between Barbastro and Barcelona takes place today, January 4, at 19:00 CET. The winner of this stage will be decided in a single-leg match.
