FC Barcelona hopes to recover its gala eleven for the next League Clásico against Real Madrid, a match that could sentence the tournament in favor of the Catalans. The clash will precede the selection break at the end of the month
Xavi Hernández expects to have Robert Lewandowski, Ousmane Dembélé and Pedri González for the Classical of 19 March in front of the Real Madrid. The FC Barcelona has clear his posture to carry calmly the recovery of all his lesionados to avoid greater complications, by which the three headlines could reappear, recently, on 19 March, in a party that can be decisive for the resolution of LaLiga.
With Dembélé, the caution has been maximum. The one of Vernon has been drop from 28 January by an injury in the previous rectum of the left thigh suffered in field of the Girona. It was foreseen that his recovery took between 4 and 5 weeks, but considering his previous antecedents for recaer of physical problems the club has given him a pair of weeks more to strengthen the zone affected.
Similar case occurs with Pedri. The mediocentro suffered the same problem of 'Dembouz', but in the right thigh, in the gone of the 'playoff' of the Europe League in front of the Manchester United. The terms of recovery give for a month of drop and the technical body has full intention to respect this margin, considering that the one of Low tide is one of the players with greater quantity of minutes this season (2.366' in 30 parties).
Of equal way, overloads it in the biceps femoral of the left thigh that suffers Lewandowski gives for a pair of weeks without football, in front of the risk to suffer a break. The Pole came crossing a moment complicated in League, with only a pair of goals in the six days contested after the stop by the World-wide. Although it attained to convert five so many more delivered between the Glass of Rey (2), the Supercopa Spanish (2) and the Europe League (1), to the '9' has seen him more imprecise in the last month, by which the rest, in principle, would have to seat him well.
It is as well as Xavi will have to expect near of 20 days to recover to his eleven of gala, having that the bloodletting of injuries cease in the first fortnight of March. Players like Ronald Araújo, Jules Koundé and Andreas Christensen also are to the limit after an intense February where the Barça had to contest seven parties. The exit of the Europe League clears the calendar for this month, added to the stop of selections.
The Barça has to sentence LaLiga in the Classical
With seven points of advantage on the Madrid, the Barça has the possibility to sentence the tournament home to 12 dates for the end. In the day 26, the culés could pull to ten points the brecha with his nearer perseguidor, an opportunity that already left to happen the past Sunday after falling in Almería (1-0). Claro is, the two previous days to the Classical suspender belt can expand or reduce the difference between both.
Thus, the Barça has the obligation to add the six points in front of Valencia (the Sunday home) and Athletic Club (12 March in Bilbao). A new trip could leave to the Real Madrid to 'shot' of the tip after seeing practically without opportunities after puncturing home the Saturday in the derbi Madrilenian (1-1 in front of the Athletic). Of course, the ones of Carlo Ancelotti also are forced to win to Betis (was) and Espanyol (house) to arrive 'alive' to the Spotify Camp Nou.
From here the importance of the party in Catalonia for the culés. In front of an expert Madrid in traced back, win home will serve to direct a title that, to these heights, luce difficult to leave escape thanks to the advantage achieved up to now and to the irregularity of the ones of 'Carletto'. The Real has fallen in two of his last five parties like visitor, leaving a very poor image so much in The Madrigal as in Sound Moix.
The Liverpool can give a hand to the Barça
A 'advantage' extra for the ones of Xavi will be the extra wear of the whites in the week of the Classical. The Madrid has to receive to the Liverpool the Wednesday 15 in a duel that, in principle, would not have to wear out too much to the 'merengues' thanks to the advantage obtained in the gone contested the past week (2-5 in Anfield). Nevertheless, the risk to suffer some injury always is latent because of the demanding calendar of the 2022/23, more in a crash that promises to be very physical in front of the wish of the 'reds' for improving the image left home.
