The second round of the Sweet 16 of the Copa del Rey will commence tomorrow, at the home field of the team who played "away" last round. So Barcelona, who played in Leon last round, will host Cultural at the Camp Nou in Barcelona tomorrow.
Two goals from Pedro led Barca to victory last round, but tomorrow could be a little more difficult. This round of the Copa conflicts with the playoffs of the World Cup qualifications that are happening next week, so players are leaving for their home country to prepare before the games.
As such, Dymytro Chygrynskiy, Thierry Henry, Eric Abidal, and Yaya Toure will be with their national teams until next week, taking them away from the Copa game. Additionally, Ibrahimovic will be out for 4-6 days with injury, and Keita is ruled out for roughly 10 days.
That still leaves a multitude of awesome players for Barcelona to start, but there will definitely be some gaping holes in the striking positions with the absence of Ibra and Henry. However, after Pedro's sudden arrival on the goal-scoring scene and Bojan back to full health, the youngsters will be expected to step up to the plate.
