The two midfielders are two of the most important players in Imanol's team

David Silva and Mikel Merino are the two biggest casualties in Imanol Alguacil's Real Sociedad squad to face Barcelona in the Copa del Rey quarterfinal on Wednesday.

As confirmed by the Real Sociedad coach, Silva will undergo an MRI to determine whether or not he has a calf injury, while Merino has a left hamstring problem that will keep him out of action for about three weeks.

They are two big casualties for the Basque team, who has had a tough time this season in terms of injuries after seeing players like Umar Sadqi, Oyarzábal, Gorosabel...etc fall one after the other.

The Copa del Rey quarterfinal duel between Barça and Real Sociedad will begin at 9:00 p.m. at the Camp Nou on Wednesday.
