The curious episode of Vermaelen in the Juventus Stadium

Still they remain some days so that it confirm the decision of Ernesto Valverde, but in one of the most complicated exits of the season, Thomas Vermaelen could go back to be headline with the FC Barcelona. Without Gerard Hammered neither Javier Mascherano, the Belgian appears like the best option to situate beside Samuel Umtiti in Mestalla. In the same Juventus Stadium, the defence began to prepare .

Ready it was to jump to the lawn to all haste to substitute to the French when this gave the fright in the first-half, but fortunately there was not more lesionados and the played did not happen to greater. In a footballer with the physical unsteadiness of Vermaelen, the best is not having to force more than the account, and although his mate removed him an opportunity, surely also avoided him a possible risk.

After the meeting, and before a day of party for the staff, could to see a curious image, to Thomas Vermaelen training in solitary in the terrain of game, backed by one of the preparadores physical of the Barça. The one of Kapellen is conscious of the challenge to the that confronts against Valencia, and will give all what was in his hand to arrive in full form.

The fright of the day

Although finally it remained in an anecdote, were not few those that carried the hands in command when seeing to Samuel Umtiti limping ostensiblemente after a crash fortuíto with Lucas Digne. The samples of pain of the Barcelona head office did to fear the worst, but after some seconds and a pair of careers happened the danger.

Further of the demanding commitment in Mestalla, for which would have left to Valverde without options, the French is one of the best players of the Barça in this start of season, by what his absence would convert certainly in a problem for the Catalan group. That it do not happen him at all.
