This Friday was foreseen that Xavi Hernández had all his available staff to follow preparing the party of the FC Barcelona in front of the Athletic Club, that will take place this Sunday in the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Compannys (21:00 hours), with the return of the last three international that were missing: Marc-André ter Stegen, Ílkay Gündogan and Ronald Araújo, those who had contested clashes in America.
There was a lot of expectation with the return of the three because they were a lot of hours of trip and, besides, played it everything with Germany and Uruguay, respectively. 180 minutes of overload and more than eight hours of flight for reincorporarse this Friday to the sessions of training. The true is that only the guardameta has been able to jump to the lawn for the session with the rest of his mates.
Araújo And Gündogan remained in the gymnasium
So much Gündogan like Araújo remained doing work in specific in the gymnasium, victims of the -evident- fatigue after the stop of selections. As it has been able to know, will be able to go in in the announcement for the clash and is foreseen that they will be able to play, but the doubt will root if they will be able to be headlines or no. It does not be necessary to overlook that the midfield player came to play it all, also, with the Barça and does not rest from the party in front of the Real Betis, around the middle of September.
By his part, the central charrúa has recovered properly of his last injury, but is a player that tends to fall in the infirmary easily and, in an ideal stage, would have to rest. The drop of Jules Koundé, the one who has a sprain in the knee, complicates the possibilities that Araújo can rest in this stretch of the season. If it remains in the bench, Iñigo Martínez would be the attendant to complete the defensive saga.
Xavi confirms the presence of both in front of the Athletic
In any case, in the press conference of Xavi Hernández of this Friday, has remained confirmed that will be available: "The four will be for of the Sunday. They are available", referring to Araujo, Gündogan, Balde and Lamine. The left side had had to return to Barcelona after the party of Spain against Scotland by some annoyances in the aductores, whereas Yamal fell lesionado in the visit to the Granada, but already is recovered.
