Barça take the short trip today to Tarragona to play Gimnàstic in the semi-final of the Catalan Cup with only 8 first team squad players. With thirteen players away on international duty, ten youngsters from the B and C team have been brought in to make up the numbers. With so many bigger tournaments in the season this game really has very little importance to fans, and many will just be hoping that none of the first team players get injured. It will however be a chance to see some of the stars of the future, with the promising Giovani Dos Santos being the one that most will be looking out for.

The full list is: Valdés, Jorquera, Belletti, Oleguer, Sylvinho, Motta, Giuly, Ezquerro, Jesús Olmo, Marc Valiente, Marc Crosas, Andrea Orlandi, Víctor Vázquez, Luis Sastre, Thaer Fayed, Toni Calvo, Giovani Dos Santos, Sergi Busquets. (Busquets is the son of our popular ex-goalie)

The game starts at 10pm in the Nou Estadi, Tarragona.
