Barcelona team news
Pedro has a right hamstring injury from the Champions League game against Slavia Prague on January 22, with recovery expected to take about a month.
This injury adds to Barcelona’s challenges, as they also miss Andreas Christensen (ACL injury), Gavi (recovering from meniscus surgery, expected back in February), and Ferran Torres (muscular issue).
Despite these injuries, Barcelona has been in good form. Hansi Flick’s side won 3-0 against Real Oviedo in La Liga on January 25, keeping their one-point lead at the top of the Spanish league.
FC Copenhagen team news
The Danish champions come to Barcelona with hopes of continuing their European journey after a hard-fought 1-1 draw against Napoli at home on January 20.
Captain Thomas Delaney received a red card after a VAR review and will miss this game. Rodrigo Huescas and Magnus Mattsson are also doubtful for this match.

Hansi Flick’s team wrapped up their league phase with a strong 3-0 win over Real Oviedo, following a 4-2 victory against Slavia Prague earlier in the week.
Barcelona has won 13 of their last 14 matches across all competitions, including a Spanish Super Cup win over Real Madrid 3-2, marking their first trophy of 2026.
