Barcelona are already preparing for their next match after thrashing Elche 4-0 in La Liga. Their next game is the second leg of the Copa del Rey semi-final against Real Madrid.
Xavi Hernandez will be without Christensen, Pedri and Dembele as they are still injured. According to 'AS', Frenkie de Jong will also be unavailable.
The 25-year-old was injured in the last Clasico in La Liga. De Jong suffered an injury to the biceps femoris in his right thigh and he has been out of action since March. The same media outlet reports that the Dutchman trained on Saturday and was not in good form.
However, according to 'Sport', the midfielder could be available despite not being fully recovered. The Spanish coach already has a lot of absentees and it is a very important game.
