Calendar of FC Barcelona

Quique Setién was announced like new technician of the FC Barcelona the Monday of the past week, just a day after Luis Suárez went taken part quirúrgicamente of the meniscus of his knee. An operation that did that the medical services of the Barcelona club gave to the Uruguayan forward a term of recovery of four months, losing like this the greater part of the season.

From this Sunday, the ariete culé has been saving absolute rest, something that did that it could not attend to the dinner of plot that Setién organised after his arrival and that not even could know to the Cantabrian technician. Nine days afterwards, Luis Suárez has gone back to the Ciutat Esportiva to initiate his process of recovery, being able to know also to the new trainer culé.

In this way, the '9' of Jump will initiate his way to the recovery with the aim of recortar terms and be the before possible to disposal of the team. The season foresees hard, with a change of trainer -and consistently, also of methodology of work and of dynamics of game- to half of season and can have his presence in the final stretch would be a big news.

The FC Barcelona still is alive in the three big competitions and Luis Suárez would have the intention to be available in April, where would play some hypothetical eliminatory of semifinals of the Champions League in case that the team culé was able to advance until said round. Then, the Uruguayan would not have rhythm of competition, but would be an option more for Setién.

A '9' to relieve to Suárez

Nevertheless, the FC Barcelona will follow working to find a forward of guarantees in the market of winter that can suplir to Luis Suárez in his period of drop. Rodrigo Moreno seems in these moments the most feasible option by mediation of a cession, although possibly his stay in the Camp Nou only would prolong until final of season.

What in the Barça have clear is that no fichará to a forward of half profile in case that any player contrasted can arrive. In case of not being able to tackle the arrival of a '9' of level, Setién will have to follow trusting play with Leo Messi or Antoine Griezmann like false forwards.
