According to Spain's "World Sports Newspaper", the defending champions of the Copa del Rey barcelona will start this season's Copa del Rey journey tonight, and Brazilian right-back Alves is still waiting to register.
Barring unexpected difficulties, Alves will register well before tonight's match and return in a Barca shirt after almost six years, last in the 2016 Copa del Rey final.
Barca said a few days ago that Alves' registration was "only a matter of a few hours", but they have not yet registered, and they can even wait until a few minutes before the match, but it is not possible to determine whether Alves can play until the official registration.
