Barcelona full-back Dani Alves is unavailable for tomorrow’s King’s Cup last-32, second leg match at home to third-tier Huesca after picking up a hamstring strain in Saturday’s 0-0 La Liga draw at Getafe.

Brazil international Alves is also a doubt for Barca’s La Liga match at home to Cordoba on Saturday, their final outing before the two-week winter break, Barca said on their website (www.fcbarcelona.es) last night.

Luis Enrique’s side should have little trouble securing their place in the last 16 as they lead 4-0 from the first leg at Huesca. They would play Elche or Real Valladolid for a place in the quarter-finals.

Barca’s stumble at Getafe meant they lost ground on leaders Real Madrid and are four points behind their arch rivals in second after 15 matches.
