Unimportant party in Champions the Tuesday and important challenge in League the Sunday. With only two available head offices, the Barça is in a position of risk, since without the lesionados or the help of the the quarry, hardly remain him alternative

Although the damage in the classification has seen notably reduced, the clash of the FC Barcelona against the Celtic has left a painful hangover in shape of injuries. The gravest is the one of Samuel Umtiti, that puts to the Barcelona in more risk of the that already were, with a dangerous calendar and several pending obligations.

The first of them will be this Tuesday, in which the Sporting of Portugal will visit the Camp Nou. The pass to eighth and the leadership of group are sentenced, but the party it is necessary to play it and the eleven elected to play are, in these moments, an incógnita. The main problem is in the centre of the defence, with an alarming fault of effective and a risk that already has earned some victim.

Without the French neither Javier Mascherano, the only natural options for Ernesto Valverde are Gerard Hammered and Thomas Vermaelen, but begins to concern that in each party ronde the ghost of the sanctions or the injuries on the footballers of the Barça. The Belgian, besides, has played three consecutive meetings, and although it has done it to good level, does not suit to risk by his consabida physical fragility.

If there is not revolution in the training, to which could show a 3-4-3, those that have the label of polyvalent are Sergio Busquets and Lucas Digne, although in principle the Catalan also would have to go in in the rotations. Like this, or the left-handed side ranges beside one of the central pure or finish the alternatives.

The quarry does not explain

With a so important exit like the one of Villarreal showing this same weekend, there is another obstacle for the Barça in what to square alignment refers . Ernesto Valverde neither will be able to find substitutes between the players of the filial, since any fulfils with the specific rule of the Champions.

To be able to go in in the list, have to have been born subsequently to 1 January 1996 and carry in the club at least two years, something that only fulfils Rodrigo Tarín that is lesionado. David Coasts, Jorge Cuenca and Santiago Well remain went by not fulfilling the necessary antiquity, and Fali and José Antonio Martínez were born in 1993. All they also are descartados.
