After solving with another victory the visit to Leganés, the FC Barcelona has centred in the Juventus, although askance already looks the duel suspender belt that will cross him with Valencia the next weekend. One of the worries for the meeting is the shortage of head offices, since with Javier Mascherano lesionado and Gerard Hammered sanctioned, only will remain Samuel Umtiti. It has arrived the hour of Thomas Vermaelen.
The doubts on the footballer are rather circunstanciales, and is that in reality the technicians yes trust a player that continues being headline in the powerful Belgian selection and whose quality is more than contrasted. The problem, however, is his fault of minutes, partly propiciada by his condition of eternal acting and, to his time, consequence of his physical fragility, that has had him in the dry dam in more occasions of which would like him.
Like this, and whenever it do not prosper the resource of the Barça by Hammered, Vermaelen will be to proof in the next days, in which it will have to show that has the necessary rhythm to fulfil when it needs him . It does not seem that Valverde go to throw of experiments in Mestalla having a central pure in his staff, by what his turn to the titularity in LaLiga will judge big part of his options in what it remains of season.
Market of winter
In addition to playing the confidence of his trainer, the performance of Vermaelen could mark a before and an afterwards in the sportive planning. Once checked that during the course can suceder the problems, in the club want to know if the team is ready, or if by the contrary touches to bet with more urgency by a reinforcement in the wintry market.
The list of head offices that like to the Barça is wide, although it reduces regarding the candidates that could incorporate in January. Between them there are several options that like for being entirely adapted to LaLiga, and with the rejection of Clément Lenglet, Íñigo Martínez goes back to take strength. Everything will depend on Vermaelen.
