Barcelona coach Xavi explains plans for Roque and Romeu

Barcelona coach Xavi says Vitor Roque will see minutes tomorrow in their Copa del Rey clash with Unionistas.

Roque failed to make the pitch during the Spanish Super Cup in Saudi Arabia last week.

Xavi explained: "He had some discomfort and that's why he didn't participate in the Super Cup.

"He will have minutes."

Xavi also insisted Oriol Romeu is a required player amid talk of a return to Girona.

He added: "Tomorrow can be very important. He will continue to participate and be very valid for the second part of the season."
