Clément Lenglet, against all prognosis, will not be able to play the Barça-Seville of the next week after the expulsion that suffered this Saturday in front of the Getafe, to hands of the referee Gil Manzano. Curiously the same referee that already expelled him the past campaign in a Barça-Girona (by codazo to Pere Pons) decided that the defender Frenchman did not have to continue on the terrain of game in the second half of the Getafe-Barça.
And it is that Lenglet starred two actions merecedoras of yellow cardboard in the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez, what caused that the FC Barcelona had to play the last ten minutes of the meeting with a player less. Frenkie Of Jong planted in position of head office of provisional form, giving time so that Jean-Clair Todibo gone in some minutes later and debuted, like this, this season 2019-20.
The young French defender hardly has had of opportunities since it arrived to the Barça in January, hardly two parties of League played the past campaign and in which the Barça did not play at all. To his 19 years, the one of Cayenne will have to assume new challenges and the most likely is that it was headline next Saturday in front of the Seville in the Camp Nou, taking into account that in addition to the drop of Lenglet the Barça will have the one of Samuel Umtiti, the one who follows lesionado.
Serious problems as for Ernesto Valverde in defence, explaining also with the injury of Jordi Alba. Junior Firpo, fortunately, surrendered to a good level this Saturday against the Getafe and even marked one of the goals, by what little by little goes taking confidence in the place.
Clément Lenglet takes a break
Going back to Lenglet, the rest will come him of perlas the next weekend. It will not be able to confront to his ex team, but will take oxygen after having played all the possible minutes with the FC Barcelona since it gave beginning the season, and also with the selection of France when having been summoned by Deschamps in the last stop of selections.
The ex of the Seville already had given symptoms of fatigue in the last days, and the days of rest will serve him to return to a level of greater performance in the next days. It will be, besides, an opportunity of gold so that Todibo keep growing like head office of the future. Has some glorious qualities, and is time to that it begin to pulirlas with official parties.
