The FC Barcelona has begun the week of the Classical of turn in LaLiga with good news. First, the culés follow with his advantage of 9 points on the Real Madrid, and besides this Monday the Barcelona team has had the expected return of Pedri, after having surpassed an injury in the previous rectum of the right thigh, that has had him of drop the last three weeks.
In the first work of the week the mediocampista Canarian already has worked with the complete group during some minutes, to go going in progressively, with the aim that the Saturday can have already the high and go in in the announcement for the Classical. After expecting until the last moment to know if it would play some minutes in Saint Mamés, the Barça finally decided not forcing to the player and complete the recovery until the last day of the marked term.
A hit that felt in Barcelona
Pedri, that lesionó in the gone of the Europe League against the Manchester United the past 16 February, has lost a total of six parties (Cádiz, United, Almería, Real Madrid, Valencia and Athletic). During this time the Barça had a balance of four victories and two defeats, one of which meant the elimination of the team of Xavi of the European competitions.
During the absence of Pedri the Barcelona was able to mark more than a goal only in the crash in front of the Cádiz (2-0), crediting to an only so much in the rest of commitments, to exception of Almería, that the Catalan team remained without seeing door. This shows an evident lack in front of the fault of a Pedri that in the half of the field is used to to be the most creative footballer of the culés.
Returns very expected
With the Madrid visiting the Camp Nou next Sunday, the idea of the Barça is to put to the Canarian footballer from the beginning, although limiting his minutes until the 60 or 70 to avoid any relapse. With this turn, the technical body will be able to go back to resort to the four midfield players, with Sergio Busquets, Frenkie of Jong and Gavi like the others leading of this new system of the egarense.
In addition to Pedri, Xavi also will have the return of Ronald Araújo after fulfilling a party of sanction by his expulsion in front of Valencia. Like this, it will be able to range to his defence of the big occasions: Araújo, in the right side to confront to Vinicius, Jules Koundé and Andreas Christensen, in the central axis, and Alejandro Balde, in the left sector, although it will remain -except surprise- without the return of Ousmane Dembélé.
