Barcelona rest Lionel Messi, Andres Iniesta, Sergi Busquets and Jordi Alba for tomorrow's trip to Real Zaragoza.

Barcelona have decided to rest a string of key players for tomorrow night's trip to Real Zaragoza, including Lionel Messi and Andres Iniesta.

Messi returned early from a hamstring injury in midweek to help Barca squeeze past Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League.

The Argentine playmaker will not travel to Zaragoza, with Iniesta and Jordi Alba also given the weekend off.

Midfield linchpin Sergi Busquets sits out the Zaragoza clash, while reserve goalkeeper Jose Pinto is left out of the 18-man squad after complaining of discomfort in his back.

Barca are 13 points clear of nearest rivals Real Madrid in La Liga with eight games to play.
