BARÇA'S ALTERNATIVES
Xavi's options for the Clásico XI with and without the injured
Depending on the return of the injured, Xavi Hernández has several alternatives to configure his lineup for the match against Real Madrid, this Saturday in Montjuïc (4:15 p.m., in Spain)
'Guess' the alignment of the FC Barcelona for his party against the Real Madrid will be a task more than complicated, by not saying impossible. Although the team goes with the 'just', Xavi Hernández will hide his letters to the end. It is slope for knowing if Robert Lewandowski, Raphinha and Frenkie of Jong will be able to go in in the announcement, that will give to know possibly the same Saturday, by what will be indescifrable. Or this seems.
It is necessary to split by the fact that it seems ensured the presence of Raphinha, like revulsivo in the second half, and that Robert Lewandowski could infiltrate his left ankle to be able to play. There is those who put him like titling in the Classical, but will depend especially of the feelings that accumulate in the session of training of this Friday. By his part, Frenkie of Jong has it much more complicated and his participation is more than complicated.
XI of the Barça if it is available Robert Lewandowski
In an ideal situation, the three would be headlines. But it seems a possibility that is not on the table and of there that they begin to add possible alternative in the alignment that will present the trainer egarense to plant face to the White House. If it is finally available Lewandowski, the Barça would split with Ter Stegen under the three sticks, the defence formed by Cancel, Araújo, Christensen and Alejandro Balde, with the centre of the field populated by Oriol Romeu, Ílkay Gündogan and Gavi. In the forward, finally, Joao Félix and Ferran Torres would be the attendants to accompany to the '9'.
Also it exists the possibility that Xavi 'dispense' of a Romeu that has been very argued in the last parties and ingrese to Fermín. It would cause that the midfield player Teutonic assume works like mediocentro defensive and that they are the two players of The Masia those who act like pivote. Another option that also will be on the table is the presence of Lamine Yamal in replacement of Ferran Torres in the right extreme blaugrana. Raphinha Would be a revulsivo, seemingly.
How it will be the XI without lesionados?
In the horizon also is the possibility that the alignment of the Barça was very similar to the by which bet in the visit of the Shakhtar. The difference will be in the entrance of a Gavi that lost the duel of the Champions League by sanction, after seeing double yellow in front of the Port wine, as well as the presence of Christensen and Balde, that rested. In this case, would follow the retaguardia of Ter Stegen with Cancel, Araújo, Christensen and the side of 20 years. In the centre of field will be fixed the '6' and Gündogan, whereas Fermín and Romeu will contest the third place.
In the forward would not be necessary to touch at all: Joao and Lamine by the extremes, whereas Ferran Torres would split like false 9. Another possibility is that Fermín between as false extreme, with Oriol Romeu of pivote, and was Yamal the sacrificed of the XI. In paper and waiting for that they have more news on the recovery of the players lesionados, east seems the eleven more likely for the Classical.
