Valencia team news

Valencia's sole injury concern is Thierry Correia, who has been ruled out for the remainder of the season due to an ACL tear.

Barcelona team news

As Barcelona prepare to face Valencia in the Copa del Rey quarter-final, the team is monitoring the fitness of key players.

Midfielder Gavi suffered a head injury during Sunday's 1-0 victory over Alavés but has undergone medical tests that returned normal results. He is being closely observed by the club's medical staff and is expected to be available for selection, provided he experiences no adverse effects.

Attacker Dani Olmo, who has missed the last four matches due to a calf issue, has resumed partial training. While there is optimism about his potential involvement, it remains uncertain whether he will be fit enough to feature against Valencia.

Defender Andreas Christensen, goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen and youngster Marc Bernal are long-term absentees.
