Experience, physicality, youth, ball handling or good present. All this is what Xavi Hernández has available to complete his midfield in order to face the return of the 'playoffs' of the Europa League

Calendar of FC Barcelona

The FC Barcelona will have next Thursday in Old Trafford one of his greater challenges in what it goes of season, and possibly of the most complicated regarding the eleven that it will have to put on the lawn of the English team. Xavi will have at least three absences titled, with Pedri and Dembélé being low by injury and Gavi fulfilling his party of suspension by accumulation of yellow cards in the continental tournament.

The good news for the technical body, and also for all the culés, is that the mediocentro title of the team and also captain, Sergio Busquets already has recovered of his injury of ankle. The pivote already was summoned this Sunday in front of the Cádiz, but remained in the bench thinking precisely in that it was the best possible for the duel in front of the ones of Have Hag, those who recover for this party to the central Argentinian Lisandro Martínez as well as to the mediocampistas Marcel Sabitzer and Scott McTominay.

With all this in mind, and understanding that Frenkie of Jong will be to title yes or yes the next 23 February, in FCBN consult you on which think that would have to be the couple of midfield players that Xavi put from the start to be beside the Dutch. This, understanding that to the not being Gavi or Pedri, Xavi will not throw of his system of four medicampistas that usually comes planting in this type of meetings.

THE POLL Who should play for Pedri and Gavi in midfield against United?

The most logical option and with sense would be the one to use to Busquets like pivote and join to Kessié with Of Jong in the interiors, although the level of Sergi Roberto comes being of the best of the team. Besides, the egarense will have to evaluate if for real Busquets is to begin the party or by the type of game of the rival would be better to begin with the available physical elder on the field.

Experience or rebeldía?

The suplencia of Kessié this Sunday indicates that his name, as the one of Of Jong, is almost ensured, by what only would be necessary to add him another name more. The third option, much less likely, is that Xavi aventure to use to Pablo Tower, the one who is the player more resembled Gavi or Pedri that there is in the staff, although with any experience in a party of so high level.
