Luis Enrique expecting to bring Andres Iniesta in for Huesca Copa clash

Luis Enrique expects to count on Andres Iniesta for the clash against Huesca in the Copa del Rey. The Asturian coach, who is likely to play many who have not played many minutes this season, wants his players to maintain their concentration.

Here are the manager's thoughts:

Match against Huesca: "We are looking forward to it and want to do well in the cup. We've studied them, we know they were leading their table until recently. Of course there is a big gap in standings, but we will have to demonstrate that on the pitch because they will be up for it."

Jordi Masip to start? "If it was decided by performances and in training, everyone would deserve to start."

Reveal the team like Ancelotti? "No, no. I think it's good what others do but I am true to my style."

Minutes for those who've not played? "That would be logical. I would like to count on 20 plus starters but that would be utopian."

Douglas: "He's a player in the squad. We know that for all South Americans the first year in Europe is difficult. We wanted to strengthen the right-back position because of the FIFA transfer ban. Douglas has a lot of the characteristics we value there."

Messi's yellow card: "I don't like to talk about referee performances because it is a very delicate profession and they have to make decisions very quickly."

The objects thrown: "It is difficult for the referee to see what was thrown, especially when it can be things like coins."

Luis Suarez: "Goal scoring is pure instinct. But even without the goals, Luis Suarez is bringing a lot to the team. He's a different player, good in the area. I have no doubts he will keep generating chances and goals."

Pedro: "I've not seen him lose confidence, although it's true footballers have good and bad moments and one of the things they have to do is come through the bad ones. He's fine, though, with chances to score when he plays and I'm sure he will score soon."

Neymar: "He's very important for us. In Brazil he's the main man; for us he's very important and dominating. Last year he was adapting; he's more integrated now and playing at a higher level."

Andres Iniesta: "I hope he will bring a lot on his return, like always. He's more than special. 'Made in Barça 100 percent'. He's a key player. Tomorrow he will be with the team and he can get some minutes."

New shirt: "I've not seen it. These stripes... I can only comment on what the club confirms and then I can value if I like it."
