Except twist of guion of last hour, Alejandro Balde and Lamine Yamal will be able to go in in the announcement of the FC Barcelona for the visit of the Athletic Club to the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Compannys, this Sunday from the 21:00 hours (9:00 PM CEST). The players were recovering of his annoyances, but already have begun to train to the same rhythm of his mates. There is good feelings.
It is worth it to remember that the player of 16 years could not add to the announcement of Spain, for the parties in front of Scotland and Norway, by an injury in the psoas ilíaco of the left leg that suffered in the party in front of the Granada, before the stop of selections. It was not an important physical setback, but the medical services understood that the best option was that it rested. It does not be necessary to overlook that it comes of a big overloads of minutes.
By his part, Alejandro Balde had seen forced to abandon the concentration of 'The Red' after the party in front of Scotland. Solo Could play 45 minutes by some annoyances in the aductores, but descartó something grave. It happened some days of rest and already has reincorporado to the trainings. The left side, in paper, would have to be available for the crash in front of the Athletic.
Reinforcements of luxury for Xavi Hernández
Although it still is not confirmed the presence of both players, everything seems to indicate to that will be available. The trainer egarense will save a problem 'fat' because they did not have a lot of alternatives to replace them in the alignment. In the left-handed side was the option of Marcos Alonso, but is not a player in which Xavi trusts a lot, as it has remained showed.
In the case of Lamine Yamal would be much more complicated to replace him. There is not security that Raphinha can be summoned for the party in front of the Athletic and is confirmed the drop of Robert Lewandowski. Beside Joao Félix and Ferran Torres, is the only available alternative to reinforce the line of attack.
