Calendar of FC Barcelona

The FC Barcelona announced this Thursday the injury of two players that were headlines in the defeat of this past Wednesday against the Network Bull Salzburg. It treats of Frenkie of Jong and Gavi, that will not be able to play the Trophy Joan Gamper of this Sunday in front of the Juventus of Turín. In fact, right now both are doubt for the première in League of the Barcelona against the Real Sociedad next week.

"The player of the first team Frenkie Of Jong has an elongación in the internal twin of the right leg. It is drop and his evolution will mark availability. Besides, the player Gavi has a fracture in the right jaw. His evolution will mark availability for the next trainings", confirmed the Barça in the communiqué. An abysmal news for Ronald Koeman to little more than a week for the debut suspender belt.

It will be necessary to see how long are both footballers of drop, although it seems complicated to think that they can arrive to the duel against the Real of the weekend that comes. The technician of the Barcelona, therefore, will have to 'throw' of Riqui Puig​ and of Nico González, that are the best available options in these moments. Pedri, that this Saturday plays the final of the Olympic games with Spain, probably was on holiday for this crash.

Miralem Pjanic Would be the another alternative that has Koeman, although the bosnio is right now ultimando his exit to the Juventus of Turín. The Balkan not even played in front of the Network Bull and everything aims that for next week his future could be resolved. In definite, the normal is that the one of Tuzla no longer was player of the Barça for then, by what Koeman will have to think in other names.

Sergi Roberto aims to title in the première in League

Thus, it would be natural that the trainer barcelonista decide to use to Sergi Roberto in the half. With Sergiño Dest settled in the side and with Emerson pushing behind, the one of Reus seems that it will play more in the centre of the field this course. The one of Zaandam does not trust Riqui, by what the midfield against the donostiarras could form it Sergi, Busquets and Nico. The evolution of Of Jong and Gavi will mark the decisions of the míster.
