The Spanish champions have rested a number of key players, including Messi and Suarez for the match against the bottom side in the league.

The reason is to keep them sharp for Tuesday's Champions League quarter-final second-leg tie against Manchester United at Camp Nou.

And Kevin, who joined on loan in January, is likely to start up front in the absence of Suarez.
