The shortage of central defenders forces to Ronald Koeman to 'take care' the state of fitness of Gerard Hammered, to the maximum. Already it is training in base to a special plan
Gerard Hammered, to his 33 years, is one of the main pillars of the defence of the FC Barcelona. In front of the shortage of head offices in the staff of the club blaugrana, Ronald Koeman has decided that the Catalan defence make a tuned particular, taking advantage of the stop of selections. From the Monday, the footballer follows a special plan to the margin of the rest of his mates.
In the first training of the group, this week, Gerard Hammered remained working in the gymnasium, doing exercises of prevention. The Tuesday already began to step lawn, but exercising separate, beside a preparador physical and not even participated in the partidillo. Again, the past Wednesday, went back to train in solitary, this time, in a physical circuit of resistance.
The main aim of 'take care' to the maximum to the player of the Bonanova is to guarantee that it will find in full faculties to face a season, with a diary plagada of parties, taking into account that it is one of the most veteran players of the team. The last absence of the Lenglet, in LaLiga, this time by sanction, has done to jump the alarms of the Camp Nou and now, all caution is little.
Without any type of doubts, the big suspense of the market of signings for the group barcelonista is the little forecast for the position of central defence. After arduous negotiations, Eric García did not arrive to Can Barça by two millions in variables that the club denied to pay. At the same time, Jean-Clair Todibo left yielded to the Benfica, leaving the defence in picture.
The alternatives of Ronald Koeman
On the other hand, Ronald Araújo, central Uruguayan that already has index card with the first team, after rising of the filial, has showed that has level to play in the eleven headline whenever it was necessary. Besides, Samuel Umtiti, to the that the club could not fit in any operation of exit, already has begun to train with the group like fourth possible option.
Ronald Koeman already is working to find more alternative for the position that has remained more unprotected after the period of traspasos. Frenkie Of Jong, could delay his position, if it was necessary, and incrustarse in the line defender. Although it is not the ideal, could fulfil with the position and help in the exit of balloon. Sergio Busquets could do the same function.
