The presence of Ronald Araújo or is not one of the big incógnitas, but also who will be the attendant to split like the mediocentro of the team.
It does not be necessary to overlook two appearances.

It exists the possibility that it was Gündogan, so that they accompany him Gavi and Fermín like interiors, as it already happened in front of the Seville.
However, also it is necessary to take in account that the ex of the Manchester City has not rested in the absolute in the last parties. Since it was acting in front of the Real Betis (went in in the second half and played 26 minutes), has contested it absolutely everything. It completed, of consecutive way, the parties in front of Royal Amberes, Real Celtic Club, RCD Mallorca and, finally, Seville. In all played the 90 minutes and if it treated of a less demanding party, would be logical that rested this week, but in Champions League can not fiarse. Xavi has he.
