Calendar of FC Barcelona

The FC Barcelona carried the derbi Catalan, against the Espanyol, after a contested victory by the minimum thanks to a goal of Memphis Depay from the eleven metres. The picture directed by Xavi Hernández finished suffering more than the account and was near to carry a fright in the final minutes, by the insistence of the 'pericos', but finally have started the 'was Xavi' with triumph and several green shoots for ilusionarse.

However, the tightened of the calendar does not allow that they have rests and the Barça already is focused in his next commitment, that is a true 'final' in which the only option is to win and leave a good game to move away to the ghosts that pursue to the team, that are not few. It is thus that Xavi summoned to his players to the Ciutat Esportiva this Sunday for a session of recovery with the look put in the crash against the Portuguese.

The good news of the session has been the comeback of Sergiño Dest, the one who carried two weeks of drop to consequence of a lumbalgia. The international by United States has begun to work with his mates, but keeps on being doubt for the party against the Benfica by the mentioned time in which it has been 'KO'. However, has a lot of possibilities of colarse in the announcement and to contest minutes, if his recovery follows the good way.

In any case, still remains a lot to know if Dest will go in or no in the list of summoned. This Monday, there will be a training in the Ciutat Esportiva, to the 11:00 hours (in Spain) and the Tuesday, day of the party, there will be a session of activation in the Camp Nou, also to the 11 of the morning. Posteriormente, Xavi desvelará his list and will know if the ex of the Ajax will be able to reinforce the team.

Good news with the 'touched'

Dest Has not been the only good news of this afternoon in the Barça. Sergio Busquets, Òscar Mingueza and Nico González, that could not finish the party against the Espanyol by annoyances, for the moment will not be drop for the visit of the lisboetas to the City Condal. 'Busi' And Mingueza exercised this Sunday with regularity, whereas Nico, that suffered a slight sprain in the ankle, will join to the group in the session of this Monday, as it has desvelado 'Sportive World'.

In any case, Xavi subtracted importance to the physical problems of his three players in the back press conference to the victory of the Barça against the Espanyol: "Nico is a torcedura of ankle and does not seem grave. Busi Has annoyances in the twin and does not seem grave. Mingueza Was a cramp at the end by the sobresfuerzo", so it is practically safe that will be smart to receive to the Benfica.
