Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong is unlikely to make the second-leg of the Copa del Rey semifinal against Real Madrid.

Carrying a thigh injury, De Jong missed Saturday's win at Elche.

The Holland international will undergo a final fitness test on Tuesday in the training session prior to the Clasico, although there's little optimism he'll make the squad.

Barca are wary pushing De Jong too hard, given the LaLiga is not yet wrapped up.

The Catalans will defend a 1-0 Copa lead on Wednesday night against Real.
