Philippe Coutinho has returned to full training ahead of Barcelona’s Copa del Rey final against Valencia on Saturday.
Ernesto Valverde’s side are looking to make up for the disappointment of another Champions League capitulation by securing a domestic double, having wrapped up La Liga with three games to spare.
Luis Suarez will have no role to play however having undergone knee surgery that ended his season two weeks prematurely.
Elsewhere in attack, Ousmane Dembele is a doubt but Coutinho is likely to be available having overcome a hamstring injury suffered on May 12.
Brazilian midfielder Arthur is another who is struggling for fitness, with Arturo Vidal in line to start ahead of him.
Marc-Andre ter Stegen is unavailable due to a knee problem – but was almost certain to serve as Jasper Cillessen’s understudy on the day with the Dutchman Valverde’s preferred option in goal in cup competition.
It could be Cillessen’s last game as a Barcelona player with a summer move likely.
Valencia’s only absentee is Denis Cheryshev – who has still travelled with the squad to the Benito Villamarín Stadium on crutches.
Ezequiel Garay meanwhile has returned to training after his recent hamstring injury.
Barcelona vs Valencia predicted line-ups
Barcelona: Cillessen; Sergi Roberto, Pique, Lenglet, Alba; Busquets, Rakitic, Vidal; Messi. Malcom, Coutinho
