Ernesto Valverde has quite clear the players that will jump to the terrain of game in the party against Chelsea. However, there is a position in which the technician extremeño doubt on the player that has to use
The FC Barcelona will have to measure with Chelsea this Tuesday to the 20:45 in the expected duel of Champions League. The Barcelona team plays big part of the season in Stamford Bridge, stadium of the team 'blue', that already has lived historical duels between both teams. The men of Ernesto Valverde will go out to obtain a good result to sentence in the party of turn, that will contest in the Camp Nou.
The technician extremeño has quite clear the men with which will jump to the lawn of Stamford Bridge. The eleven elected will be practically the same that played against the Eibar in Ipurua: Marc-André Ter Stegen in the goal; defence with Sergi Roberto, Gerard Hammered, Samuel Umtiti, Jordi Alba; centre of the field with Sergio Busquets, Andrés Iniesta, Ivan Rakitic and Paulinho; and leading with Leo Messi and Luis Suárez.
Paulinho, the only doubt
However, in the centre of the field is the only doubt of Ernesto Valverde to finish to close the alignment of the Barcelona: it treats of Paulinho. The Brazilian is not of the all very physically since it suffered a hard entrance in the party against the RCD Espanyol, that him ocasionó a small fracture in the foot.
From this meeting, Paulinho has gone down his performance, maybe leaving in evidence that it is not to the one hundred by one hundred physically or, at least, no so well as it was in the first months of competition. By all this, the suplencia of the Brazilian midfield player could be the big surprise of the alignment of Ernesto Valverde in Stamford Bridge.
If finally the Brazilian does not finish going in in the team title, there are some players that could give him relief. Ousmane Dembélé, that rested against the Eibar, could complete a trident of attack together with Messi and Suárez; André Gomes, the man for the parties complicated, could go back to the team after two parties out of the list.
