XAVI PROMISED ROTATIONS IN THE XI
FC Barcelona-RC Celta: The possible lineups for matchday 6 of LaLiga
FC Barcelona receives RC Celta, this Saturday from 6:30 p.m., at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Compannys. In the middle of a tight schedule, Xavi Hernández will have to rotate
The FC Barcelona takes action in LaLiga EA SPORTS 2023/2024. They come of two exhibitions, in front of the Real Betis and Royal Amberes, that finished with 'manitas' and very good feelings by part of the culés. In front of the Real Celtic Club, this Saturday 23 September from the 18:30 hours (6:30 PM CEST), will try to give continuity to the good series and add his fifth victory followed between all the competitions.
The culés have to take advantage of the visit of the Celtic and add three points that can be vital, especially because the Real Madrid, current leader, plays a day afterwards in front of the Athletic of Madrid and could leave points on the way. Xavi Hernández will have big part of his staff, to exception of Pedri González, although it has promised rotations to give rest to the players that have contested it everything. To continuation, our forecast of the alignments:
Likely alignments of the Barça-Celtic
- FC Barcelona: Ter Stegen; I Cancel,Christensen, Iñigo, Marcos Alonso; Romeu, Gündogan, Gavi; Lamine Yamal, Lewandowski and Joao Félix.
- RC Celtic: Iván Villar; Mingueza, Unai Núñez, Aidoo, Starfelt, Ristic; Carles Pérez, Beltrán, Bamba; Larsen and Iago Sails.
Ter Stegen
Beside Jules Koundé, Marc-André ter Stegen has been the only player that has contested all the minutes in this start of campaign. It seems unlikely that Xavi Hernández go to give him rest and the Teutonic will look for to add his third goal to zero, second in LaLiga, with Iago Sails like maximum threat.
I cancel-Christensen-Iñigo-Alonso
It seems the stage and ideal party so that Xavi give rest to Jules Koundé and Alejandro Balde, by what the defence could be configured by Joao Cancel in the right side, accompanied by the couple of head offices of Andreas Christensen and Iñigo Martínez. Marcos Alonso would go back to the titularity to occupy the left band. Another option is that Sergi Roberto play and the Portuguese rest.
Gündogan-Romeu-Gavi
Frenkie Of Jong would be the big 'protected' in the centre of the field. It has played it practically all and comes very demanded, although it is clear that has turned into an important player. In this sense, in the medullary could appear Oriol Romeu like pivote, accompanied by two interiors: Ílkay Gündogan and Gavi, that in spite of having played in Champions League, are in indisputable way,
Lamine-Lewandowski-Joao Félix
In the line of attack is where more there are doubts, because the competition is maximum. Although they come to play the last two parties, seems difficult that Xavi can seat to Robert Lewandowski and Joao Félix, that are in state of grace. In the rotations could see benefited Lamine Yamal or Ferran Torres to reinforce the right extreme.
