The possible drop of Gündogan opens the doors to Joao Félix in the Barça

To the FC Barcelona him avecinan days complicated and one overloads of parties very dangerous. In four weeks, will contest seven commitments between LaLiga and Champions League and there is something quite clear: it is not allowed to fail. By the drops and injuries, Xavi Hernández will see forced to do a lot of changes in his initial approach. Already it knows that it does not have Ronald Araújo neither Pedri González, whereas the presence of Ílkay Gündogan is in the air.

The midfield player was the big negative news of the victory of Germany on France. It withdrew , between tears, of the field and in the City Condal are lit the alarms, although the seleccionador German had recognised that there was not swim 'rare' and that treated of a very strong hematoma in the pelvis. The Barça is expecting that it go back to subject him to different proofs and confirm if there is something more than a hit, but what yes seems sure is that the player will not be able to be, at least, this weekend in front of the Real Betis.

Xavi will have to modify his approach

With the drop confirmed of Pedri and the fear with Gündogan, the trainer egarense will not be able to have his two more creative midfield players to the turn of the stop of selections. It does not be necessary to overlook that, up to now, it has come betting by a system of four midfield players, but seems unlikely that can give him continuity if it can not have the two. The contingencies would cause that it can go back to his 4-3-3 with Gavi accompanying to Oriol Romeu and Frenkie of Jong... And with alternatives in the line of attack.

No descarta that the Barça can see forced to play with the offensive trident again. To Xavi have him 'multiplied' the alternatives with the irruption of Lamine Yamal, the good level of Ferran Torres and the recent arrival of Joao Félix, in addition to the option of Raphinha. Robert Lewandowski will be intocable like leading centre and it will be necessary to look for him the couple of extremes that will back him. The youngster of The Masia has come being headline in the last three parties of LaLiga and, in paper, would reappear in front of the Betis.

Joao Félix, solution in the left extreme?

Although the one of Foios can appear in this position and has done sufficient merits to win a place in the plans of Xavi, does not be necessary descartar that it can see to Joao Félix in the left extreme. Already they tested him there in his debut, against the Osasuna in The Sadar, and for the moment is where better could fit him the trainer egarense. It comes to annotate a golazo in the victory of Portugal in front of Luxembourg, is very 'enchufado' and with win to be important.

In fact, recienremente confessed that it understands that Xav will use him more by the left band: "I see Me comfortable splitting from the left extreme. Already I play here from it does some time and think that is where to Xavi likes him more put me". Another possibility is that it keep the square in the centre of the field and that Joao Félix do of Gavi, like a false extreme in offensive functions but retreating like the fourth mediocampista.
