ARAUJO AND IÑIGO, IN THE NURSERY
Xavi's options to set up his defense against Cádiz
Xavi Hernández will not have all his troops for the visit of Cádiz CF to Montjuïc this Sunday. Ronald Araújo and Iñigo Martínez are in the infirmary and there are doubts with Andreas Christensen, who is not 100%
Hardly it goes beginning the season and to the FC Barcelona are him accumulating the problems. It has confirmed the 'KO' of Ronald Araújo, the one who could be out of action by a month by an injury in the biceps femoral of the left leg. Besides, Xavi Hernández follows without having Iñigo Martínez that continues in the infirmary recovering of the fascitis plant by which went through the operating theatre in June.
To this, it is necessary to add him that after the party against the Getafe the trainer egarense confirmed that it had substituted to Andreas Christensen by annoyances, although it foresees that it already has to be recovered, and that the Barça, to day of today, has not closed the agreement for the signing of a right side. Joao Cancel is the priority and is working in his cession for this season, but everything seems to indicate to that the operation will close to finals of this month. There is not consensus with the Manchester City by the conditions of the traspaso.
The difficulties of the Barça against the Cádiz
The true is that Xavi will have big problems to configure his alignment, but has options. It does not be necessary to overlook that during the pre-season and also in front of the Getafe, has opted by Jules Koundé in the axis of the defensive saga. It has been where has showed his best version, by what if it wants to 'keep him' there would have to range to Sergi Roberto in the right side. It is not the favourite option, but yes the most likely.
The another alternative is to displace to the international with France until the right band, where played greater part of the past season, and joint to Eric García with Andreas Christensen like couple of head offices. The ex of the Manchester City left very good feelings during the pre-season and aims to have more participation in the plans of the trainer of Terrassa. Another option is Marcos Alonso, but to fault of 72 hours for the party has not been registered.
Alejandro Balde, the only fixed in the defence
The technical body will have to analyse very well his alternatives for the visit of the Cádiz to Montjuïc, put to day of today Alejandro Balde is the only that has his place ensured in the defensive saga. The player formed in The Masia will split, as it accustoms, from the left side, although it finishes always very advanced, almost like extreme, to add to the attack with ease. To day of today and with the doubts on the future of Alonso, does not have competition in his place.
