Frank Rijkaard has added Deco and Henry to the squad for the Cup semi-final against Valencia after resting them for the league game against Levante. Sylvinho, Gudjohnsen, Giovani, Ronaldinho and Márquez (foot) are all excluded.
Rijkaard has chosen to rotate his squad and has brought back Deco and Henry while dropping
Ronaldinho, Gudjohnsen, Sylvinho and Giovani. The squad list for the Spanish Cup is restricted to
just 16 players as opposed to 18 in the league and the Champions League.
Cup king Henry
Rijkaard has included French striker Thierry Henry after his key performances in the previous
rounds against Sevilla and Villarreal, when he scored the winning goals. He’ll be hoping for
a repeat performance against Valencia.
Márquez injury blow
Meanwhile, Rafa Márquez is still suffering from pain in his right foot
and is unavailable for Wednesday’s match. Jorquera, Oleguer and Ezquerro are also sidelined
by injury.
