Barcelona boss Gerardo Martino has confirmed his squad for Wednesday's Copa del Rey final against Real Madrid at the Mestalla.
Despite suggestions that Carlos Puyol would be available, the veteran centre-back has not made the trip. Fellow centre-backs Gerard Pique and Marc Bartra, meanwhile, have also not travelled due to injury.
As a result, Alex Song or Sergio Busquets are expected to be deployed in central defence alongside Argentine international Javier Mascherano.
Martino, however, has a clean bill of health in forward positions.
Full squad: Pinto, Oier; Montoya, Adriano, Alves, Alba, Mascherano; Song, Busquets, Xavi, Iniesta, Fabregas, Roberto; Afellay, Tello, Sanchez, Pedro, Messi, Neymar
