FC Barcelona will face Real Sociedad in a match in which the Basques will have to deal with at least five casualties. These absences will especially affect the left back and the midfield of the team led by Imanol Alguacil
The FC Barcelona will have a very important appointment this Monday 13 May when it confront to the Real Sociedad to the 21:00 in the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys. This commitment is vital so that the Barcelona cast involve entirely in the fight by the second position of the table clasificatoria. If they attain to win to the Basques, could recover this position, since the Girona, current possessor of the same, only attained a tie in front of the Alavés the Saturday (2-2). With a positive result, the picture culé would surpass to the combined gerundense grieve about a point.
In this sense, the Catalan square could take advantage of a no lower circumstance in the game of the 'Txuri-Urdin', since the directed by Imanol Bailiff will visit Montjuïc with five drops in his tactical alignment: Aihen Muñoz, Igor Zubeldia, Martín Zubimendi, Carlos Fernández and Javi Galán. Several players that are used to to be usual in the eleven initial of the technician oriotarra.
The left side, the position more 'victim' with these absences
Under this premise, the drops of the picture 'blanquiazul' affect mainly in the zone of left side, since so much Aihen Muñoz like Javi Galán, those who are used to to occupy this place, will be out of the party. Muñoz suffered a break of previous crossed ligament in his left knee, whereas Galán has a traumatism in the first finger of the left foot. Likewise, in the defensive line, the Real Sociedad will not have one of his pillars in the saga, Igor Zubeldia, the one who has an injury in the biceps femoral and will not be able to confront to the FC Barcelona.
The only good news for Imanol is the return of Kieran Tierney, the one who could occupy the place of left side. However, his presence in the eleven initial is uncertain, since it will arrive to the commitment against the Catalan cast very just: "Tierney has gone back today, up to now was to the margin doing strong work, but this has been his first session with the group. Surely it will go in in the list, but with his risk, perhaps remain him prompt Barcelona, but have intention to summon it", aseveró Bailiff. Equally, neither it is necessary to shelve the turn of the right side maliense Hamari Traoré to the announcement.
Martín Zubimendi will not be able to 'exhibit' again in front of the FC Barcelona
Regarding the centre of the field and the attack, Imanol will not be able to have one of the pillars of his team and object of wish of the FC Barcelona, Martín Zubimendi. As it mentioned previously here in 'FCBN', the donostiarra was one of the main candidates to lose this commitment because of an injury in the biceps femoral left. Of this way, the Barcelona picture will lose the opportunity to see to Zubimendi again in this season. Besides, it adds the absence of the leading centre Carlos Fernández, the one who suffered a grave injury in the meniscus of the right knee.
