How Barcelona will line-up in Copa del Rey semi-final vs. Atletico
Arda will fill in for Neymar but there are question marks over who will partner Busquets
Barcelona will play Atletico Madrid on Tuesday (21h) in the second leg of their Copa del Rey semifinal at Camp Nou.
Luis Enrique's side begin with the advantage having won the first leg 2-1 at the Vicente Calderon last week. The Barça boss is prioritising reaching the final and will not reserve his big guns.
Correctly predicting a Luis Enrique side this season has almost been a question of luck, given the coach has a rotation system which often defies logic.
However, against Atletico the possible line-up will be defined by the importance of the game.
In goal will be Jasper Cillessen, a regular in the Copa del Rey.
In defence will be Sergi Roberto and Jordi Alba at full-backs and Gerard Pique in the middle along side Javier Mascherano -- although this is one of the doubts, as Samuel Umtiti may play.
In midfield, the good news is the return of Sergio Busquets. He will be joined by two from three in the form of Andre Gomes, Ivan Rakitic and Denis Suarez.
There's not much myster up front. Arda Turan will fill in for the suspended Neymar alongside Luis Suarez and Lionel Messi.
