The ones of Xavi Hernández will have to win to the modest Linares of the Third Division of the Spanish football in corresponding party to the dieciseisavos of final of the tournament.
It will run the balloon to the 19:39 hours of Spain, this Wednesday 5 January, and still there is too many incógnitas regarding the alignment that will configure Xavi for the party. This Wednesday in the morning has known the list of summoned with several very expected presences. Dani Alves, with the papers in rule, will be against the Andalusians, the same that Ousmane Dembélé, Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba.
Everything aims that the Brazilian side will do his 'redebut' official in front of the Linares, but is in hands of Xavi. Likewise, it is menester remember the drops by injury of Memphis Depay, Ansu Fati, Martin Braithwaite and Sergi Roberto. Alejandro Balde, Gavi, Sergiño Dest, Philippe Coutinho, Pedri González and Ez Abde, of drop by COVID, neither will be. By his part, Lenglet and Umtiti are drop of last hour by "problems estomacalaes". Ferran Torres, finally, follows without having been inscribed and, besides, is lesionado and has the coronavirus. This is our forecast for this duel:
Possible alignments of the Linares-Barça
- XI of the Linares: Razak; Perejón Wax, Lara Jiménez, J. Gómez, Barbosa León; Sanchidrián Barragán, Meléndez Ruiz, Rodríguez Expósito, Carnicer; Jon Etxaniz, Hugo Díaz.
- XI of the FC Barcelona: Ter Stegen; Alves, Araújo, Eric García, Jordi Alba; Frenkie of Jong, Riqui Puig, Nico; Ilias Akhomach, Jutglà and Dembélé.
Ter Stegen
The guardameta German of the Barça could jump like titling if Xavi wanted to take advantage of the envión anímico after the party in front of the Mallorca, where was the saviour. Besides, the technician has left to fall that Net has a foot out of the Barcelona, by what is not clear that go to bet by him. However, no descarta the participation of the Brazilian to give rest to the German and give him a valuable opportunity to exhibit .
Alves-Araújo-Eric-Jordi Alba
Because of the numerous absences and to the requirement of the commitment, everything seems to indicate to that Xavi will bet by a 4-3-3, with a defensive line that will have several novelties. The first and more important could be the presence of Dani Alves in the right. The Brazilian already has been inscribed and could 'debut' officially with the blaugrana finally. In the centre of the saga, Hammered could rest and by the absences of Lenglet and Umtiti, Araújo would play beside Eric García. In the left lane, with Jordi Alba already recovered of the COVID and without a clear alternative for the place, is more than likely that the '18' go out of start.
Riqui-Of Jong-Nico
Thanks to the big game exerted by Riqui in front of the Mallorca, could repeat titularity for like this besides follow showing his cost. Frenkie, in search of 'find' again, would delay his position to occupy the one of Sergio Busquets. The one of Badia will go back after his sanction in League, but is likely that Xavi take advantage of to follow giving him rest of face to LaLiga. If the '5' does not play, Nico González will go back to be headline in spite of that finish with 'annoyances' in Sound Moix.
Ilias-Jutglà-Dembélé
Because of the absence of so many elements of the front of attack, Xavi could see forced to repeat the training of Ilias and Jutglà. The two canteranos played against the Mallorca and is likely that go back to be titled this Wednesday. Luuk Of Jong will not be able to contest the commitment due to the fact that it drags a sanction of the past edition of Glass, by what his place could be occupied by the recovered Ousmane Dembélé. The French has happened the COVID and in spite of his problematic renewal keeps on being key for his trainer. The '7' will go out in the left and Jutglà will do of 'killer'.
