Barcelona's Javier Mascherano: Missing Copa Del Rey match through suspension

Mascherano will be suspended for Thursday's Copa Del Rey match against Real Sociedad for card accumulation.

Analysis:

The combative Mascherano was shown his fifth caution of the La Liga campaign at the weekend and will miss one domestic match through suspension. Since the Copa Del Rey fixture will occur midweek, Mascherano will be available for Sunday's league match against Eibar.
