The trainer of the FC Barcelona, Ernesto Valverde, has more or less outlined the eleven that will take out next Saturday against the Athletic of Madrid in Wanda Metropolitan, in what it will be the eighth day of LaLiga Santander 2017-18.
However, the alignment title will depend on a lot of factors, and one of them will be undoubtedly the stop of selections, that has done that the big majority of indispensable players, those that usually are headlines, arrive more tired of the normal to face the commitment suspender belt in front of the Athletic, one of the best teams of LaLiga.
It is thus that Valverde has thought to take out equally to his pillars and better footballers in front of the rojiblancos, but will do variations in function of how find to physical level and anímico his players. It expects that Ter Stegen go back to be in the goal to exert of angel of saves it of the FC Barcelona, with a defence formed by Umtiti and Hammered in the saga and Jordi Alba and Semedo in the sides.
In the centre of the field, Busquets is doubt to the not to have trained with the group this past Wednesday, whereas the most likely is that, if it plays, accompany him in the medullary Ivan Rakitic and Andrés Iniesta -if it is to the one hundred by one hundred-, or a Paulinho that is 'on fire' to level goleador after having marked once again with Brazil in the last days.
Aleix Vidal could be the big surprise
In the forward Leo Messi and Luis Suárez will be fixed, and from here is for the moment an incógnita know who will accompany to the magic duet of attackers of the FC Barcelona. Denis Suárez and Gerard Deulofeu have all the ballots for having rested these last days and have not been demanded by the Spanish selection. And, of them two, Denis is the one who more options has because of the good game that comes showing lately.
Ernesto Valverde, in any case, will have always the last word and no descarta neither that Aleix Vidal can go in in the alignment title accompanying to Leo Messi and Luis Suárez in the flank of attack, as it has done already in previous days.
