Barcelona has already won the Spanish Super Cup this season, and they will keep an eye on further success in the Copa del Rey, for which they are one of the favorites alongside Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid. They will hope to continue to the last four of the competition when they take on Valencia in their quarter -final draw on Thursday.
It has been an almost fleetless start until 2025 for the Catalans, who won seven of their first nine games (D2) to start the calendar year. They will hope to continue that run in the Mestalla, and they will be encouraged by Valencia 7-1 only nine days ago.
However, it should be a much competitive opportunity in the house of Los Che. Hansi Flick would like to continue the cup -run, although he could choose to make some changes prior to the journey of the weekend to Seville in their next La Liga armor. If that happens, there may be opportunities for Dani Olmo to start.
Olmo has suffered a muscular injury in the last two weeks, but according to the sport he has to get the medical green light before Barcelona travel to Valencia on Thursday. He was involved in the training on Tuesday and apart from any last-minute setbacks, he should be fine to make an imminent return in action.
In addition to Pau Victor, OLMO is currently temporarily registered after Barcelona had received a precautionary measure from the Higher Sports Council (CSD). In view of the fact that La Liga and the Spanish football federation are fighting hard to have withdrawn this, the club would like to have the midfielder available as much as possible, since they can lose him for the rest of the season if the case is lost. For now he should be contrary later this week.
