Joao Cancel has been in the dry dam from principles of this year by a distention of the internal lateral ligament of the left knee that suffered in the visit of the FC Barcelona to The Palms in the first minutes of the crash. The Barcelona trusted that it did not go to be something 'grave' and that it could be, even, of turn for the dispute of the Supercopa of Spain, in Saudi Arabia. The history has not been so 'positive' and keeps the doubt of when will return to the terrains of game.
During these weeks, Xavi Hernández does not have 'married' with anybody in the right side. It has tested from Jules Koundé until Sergi Roberto, going through Ronald Araújo in the final of the Supercopa for 'brake', or try brake, to Vinicius Jr. Any plan has resulted him and is expecting to retell with the Portuguese right side, the one who when it was available again will go back to be indisputable in the XI. Only it will remain to see how it adjusts the defensive section so that no 'suffer' in the shrinkings, something that has repeated in a sinfín of opportunities when it has played Cancel.
I cancel it will not travel to Seville
Everything seems to indicate that the marked date in the calendar is the Wednesday 24, with the visit of the Barça to Saint Mamés for the dispute of the quarter-finals of the Glass of the King in front of the Athletic Club. The trainer egarense has confirmed in press conference that will not be available for the party in Benito Villamarín, against the Real Betis (Sunday, 18:30 hours CET), but yes there are opportunities that it begin to train with the group from the Monday and can add to the announcement.
In concrete, in the previous to the visit to Seville Xavi has commented that "for morning is difficult, but for the Glass am optimistic. It tried it in the Supercopa, wants to be, was suffering because it could not. The logical is that it was not today, but yes for Saint Mamés". His absence will cause that they continue the rotations in the right-handed band and that, probably, was Jules Koundé the elected.
I cancel it loses 'alone' five parties
In case that, finally, Cancel go back to the announcement for the trip to Bilbao, will fulfil the initial prognoses that aimed that the player went to be in the infirmary during three weeks. The difference is that, with the demanding calendar of parties, has felt like an eternity. Since it fell lesionado, the blaugrana have contested four clashes, more the one of this Sunday against the Betis.
