In the announcement of the FC Barcelona goes back to have a lot of presence the infirmary, since Ousmane Dembélé and Thomas Vermaelen keep aside by his respective injuries, in addition to André Gomes that remains went by problems estomacales. Since the staff has reduced enough in the last weeks, only Nélson Semedo will cause drop by technical decision. This is our forecast for the party:

Cillessen

Except some isolated setback, Jasper Cillessen has showed that it is another safe for the goal of the Barça and given his big performance, Valverde does not have doubt that in the Glass of the King also is very covered. The Dutch knows that this title is that the best flavour will leave him, and thinks to do all what was in his hands to guide to his until the final.

Sergi Roberto-Hammered-Umtiti-Alba

Rakitic-Paulinho-Busquets-Iniesta

Messi-Suárez

Paco Alcácer already is recovered of his unlucky injury and in brief will go back to collaborate in the good course of the team, but if there is not capital surprise, Ernesto Valverde would have to opt by the enrachados Leo Messi and Luis Suárez. His spectacular state of form in the last weeks turns them into the best argument to find the necessary advantage for Mestalla.
