Barcelona skipper Lionel Messi was named in the group's squad to confront Real Madrid in Wednesday's Copa del Rey semi-last first leg in the wake of recouping from a light calf issue.

Barca did not discharge a medicinal cover Messi's condition and in spite of the fact that the Argentine missed Monday's preparation, he finished a session one day before the amusement. The forward was then incorporated into the squad declared at 1900 GMT on Tuesday.
Talking before naming his group, Barcelona mentor Ernesto Valverde said he would not like to go out on a limb with the club's untouched best scorer.
"The most critical thing is whether the player reveals to you he is prepared or not. Despite what tests state, if the player doesn't believe he's prepared, you need to forget him," Valverde said.
"I'm not for going for broke with such huge numbers of recreations coming up, if the season completed tomorrow, it would be another issue. At the point when there is a danger of damage, players play with the handbrake on and tomorrow's amusement isn't one where you need to do that."
Genuine Madrid mentor Santiago Solari said he sought Messi played after the benefit of the amusement - however he included that the Argentine's essence would not influence his match readiness.
"It's in every case great when the best players get the opportunity to play each diversion, however regardless of whether he plays won't impact the manner in which we get ready for the amusement by any stretch of the imagination," Solari said.
Messi was out with a broken arm the last time Spain's two greatest clubs met, back in October. Be that as it may, Barca scarcely missed their charm, whipping Real 5-1 in what ended up being Julen Lopetegui's last diversion as chief before Solari assumed control.
Genuine are third in the La Liga standings however cut their hole behind pioneers Barca to eight in the wake of beating Alaves on Sunday.
