Barcelona will host Sevilla at Camp Nou on Wednesday in the second leg of the Copa del Rey quarter finals.
Sevilla took full advantage of Lionel Messi’s absence in the first leg, beating Barcelona 2-0 with Pablo Sarabia and Wissam Ben Yedder scoring the goals.
The hosts – who are the defending champions – are expected to have Messi and the other regular starters back in the team as they seek to overturn the deficit.
Barcelona escaped disqualification for allegedly using a suspended player against Levante in the round of 16, because Levante’s complaint to the Spanish soccer federation missed the required deadline.
