Defense, relief of Dembélé... Xavi's doubts before Barça's debut in the League

The FC Barcelona debuts in three days in LaLiga EA SPORTS 2023-2024. It will visit the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez to confront to the Getafe, the Sunday from the 21:30 hours (9:30 PM, CEST) are many the expectations regarding how will appear the team of Xavi Hernández in his first split suspender belt. They are varied the 'X' that it has to clear before travelling to Madrid... Waiting for that from the dispatches of the club can resolve the registrations of the pending players.

And it is that, to 72 hours for the debut of the blaugrana, only there are twelve players inscribed in the staff, including to an Ousmane Dembélé that is about to to turn into player of the Paris Saint-Germain. They are expecting that 'it activate' the crowbar of the resale of 16% of Barça Studios, that will buy Free Football Finance, a bottom German investor that will credit 60 million euros directly to the arks of the Barcelona entity. This, added to the sales of the 'Mosquito' and Franck Kessié, will be sufficient to process all the 'pending'.

The doubts of Xavi to travel to Madrid

In the ideal stage that the Barça achieve the registration of all his players and that the plantila whole can be in conditions to travel to Madrid, Xavi Hernández will follow having doubts regarding what will range in the crash against the Getafe. It does not be necessary to overlook that Iñigo Martínez is in the infirmary and that will not be smart until September. Likewise, so much Ronald Araújo like Andreas Christensen are 'touched' and keep like doubt, although it foresees that they will be able to go in to the announcement.

This will cause that the defence have to suffer several changes. As it happened in the pre-season, Jules Koundé will be to title in the axis of the defence, where is strengthening after a year in the side. If the charrúa is to 100% will be the one who accompany him, but will depend on the feelings. In contrary case, Eric García could form part of the defensive axis. By the left band there are not doubts that it will be Alejandro Balde the one who will appear, whereas in the right there are a lot of questions: Araújo will displace to the side again? It will play Sergiño Dest or will appear Sergi Roberto?

Gavi And Gündogan contest a place

Another doubt that has generated is the one of who will be the companion 'extra' in the centre of the field. Everything seems to indicate to that the trainer of Terrassa will follow betting for playing with four footballers in the medullary and that will go back to 'joint' to Oriol Romeu and Frenkie of Jong. The third place is 'fixed' for Pedri González, but is missing him his mate: Ílkay Gündogan accompanied him in the Cásico of Dallas, but by physical annoyances remained in the bench in the following parties. Gavi, recovered of his ailment in the back, reappeared in Joan Gamper like headline and was quite grey with the Canarian.

Who will be the companion of Lewandowski?

In the line of attack also will have questions. In theory, Robert Lewandowski and Raphinha have to be the two attackers 'natural' of the Barça in the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez, but after the performance of Ansu Fati or Ferran Torres against the Tottenham could have questions or debate. The two have been the best players of the Barcelona pre-season and are to compete by a place in the alignment of Xavi.
