I'd break another finger to win the Copa del Rey - Rakitic

The Croatian midfielder will return for the Blaugrana following his finger injury, but admits he would suffer another if it resulted in glory

Ivan Rakitic could make his return from a broken finger in Saturday's Copa del Rey final and would be willing to endure more pain for Barcelona's benefit.

The midfielder underwent surgery after suffering a fractured metacarpal in Barcelona's shock 3-0 Champions League defeat away to Roma last week.

However, after sitting out La Liga fixtures against Valencia and Celta Vigo, Rakitic has been cleared to face former club Sevilla in Madrid this weekend.
