Pep Guardiola is set to make changes as Barcelona prepare for their second game in the space of three days by taking on Getafe at Camp Nou on Tuesday.
Xavi, Andres Iniesta and Sergio Busquets could all return to the starting XI after the trio were rested on the bench for Saturday's win at Zaragoza, while Gerard Pique, who missed the trip to Aragon with a thigh strain, remains a doubt.
Winger Ibrahim Afellay is nearing full fitness, but is not expected to be involved in the clash.
Getafe defender Mane is unavailable after receiving his fifth yellow card of the season in the weekend victory over Sporting Gijon.
Abdelaziz Barrada may return to the starting line-up after overcoming a muscular problem, while Pedro Leon (knee) could also feature.

The diminutive Argentine became the first player since Gerd Muller to score 60 goals in a single European top-flight season with his double against Zaragoza at the weekend. With Barca having a minimum of 10 games left to play in the campaign, the 24-year-old, who has found the back of the net an astonishing 23 times in his last 12 games, looks a sure bet to surpass the German's record of 67 goals set in 1972-73.

A huge responsibility falls on the shoulders of the Venezuelan, who will play the lone striker role against the massed ranks of the Blaugrana defence. Indeed, the away side's chances of completing an unlikely double over the Catalans are likely to hinge on the former Valencia man's ability to hold the ball up and bring his team-mates in to play in the attacking third of the field.
Getafe enjoyed an excellent win against Sporting Gijon at the weekend but they are unlikely to see enough of the ball at Camp Nou to hurt the Catalans, who continue steamrolling everyone who dares to stand in their way.
