And it is that the captain and the Danish now will lose the turn since they were apercibidos of sanction.

Although certainly both showed the commitment of the team when treating to cut promising actions of the PSG, knowing the consequence that this would bring, now Xavi Hernández will have to take a decision for the party of turn.

In the case that Xavi decide not risking, having besides the visit to the Cádiz to value to Pedri, the another option is Fermín, the one who almost always has answered when it has needed him this season, as it was, for example, in the turn of eighth against the Naples, where showed guarantees intensity and goal, in addition to an elder can of work when arriving to 100%.
