The Spanish newspaper 'Sport' confirmed that Barcelona players Raphinha and Kounde will be ready for the Copa del Rey quarter-final match against Albacete, scheduled for Tuesday at the Carlos Belmonte Stadium.

Although today was a day off following the team's victory over Elche away from home, some players made sure to be present at the Joan Gamper sports city to continue their rehabilitation programs, including Pedri, Gavi, Andreas Christensen, Koubarsi, Fermin, Ferran Torres, and Kounde.

Kounde had to leave the Elche match in the final minutes due to muscle cramps, with Ronald Araujo replacing him. However, he underwent recovery exercises today and will be available for the cup match, potentially starting from the bench.

As for Raphinha, he experienced fatigue in his hamstrings during the Elche match and stayed in the locker room after the first half, with Rashford replacing him. The source confirmed that the player will be ready for the match, with the possibility of Rashford starting on the left wing of the attack.

Coach Hans Flick plans to field a hybrid lineup that includes several key players, taking all available first-team players, while the unavailable players remain Gavi, Pedri, and Christensen.
