Araújo, Gündogan, Lewandowski... The 4 'heavyweights' of Barça who will rest in the Champions League

The FC Barcelona has given a big surprise of face to his announcement to the duel in front of the Amberes by the last day of the UEFA Champions League. The Barcelona cast has excluded of the payroll for the closing of the phase of groups to four of his stellar names: Frenkie of Jong, Ilkay Gündoğan, Ronald Araújo and Robert Lewandowski, in an apparently technical decision, since it does not know that any of them was facing a physical mishap, except the injury of the jaw that crosses the defender charrúa.

Xavi Hernández seems to have given a 'wink' to the intentions around the plan of party that thinks to deploy against the Belgian: an approach plagado of rotations. In this sense, the picture of the Catalan capital will take advantage of the duel in front of the Amberes, a meeting in theory extremely favourable to experience variants by context and rival, since the ones of Mark go Bommel has not had all achieve in the contest. To the not having at all that play, in theory could print him a different rhythm to the meeting in front of a Barça that has taken advantage of that has practically ensured the leadership to give fit to new players.

Xavi relieves to the pair Of Jong-Gündogan

From this, the one of Terrassa practically will show a revolution in his medullary zone, as for the duel in front of the Belgian, already is confirmed the dissolution of the triangle Frenkie-Pedri-Gündogan. Now, in this recomposición of the centre of the field, the egarense could bet for including to Fermín López and, keeping the diagram of three in the medullary zone, and under the premise that Pedri was headline, could give him a vote of confidence to Oriol Romeu in the zone of pivote or, in his defect, opt by the entrance of Marc Casadó. Equally, if the Tenerifean was not headline, also could be an opportunity for Sergi Roberto.

It costs to limit that the midfield player germano, with 1756 minutes accumulated, had not been excluded of any of the announcements of the Barça up to now. By his part, in the medullary zone, Of Jong himself had been out of several announcements by injury, but from his return to the Barcelona dynamics in the meeting in front of the Ray Vallecano, has played four consecutive parties complete, by which did necessary give him a deserved day of rest.

Ronald Araújo, necessary rest for his recovery

Apropos the others rotations that will enter the egarense, the one of Ronald Araújo, the one who has added a total of 1110 minutes this season, has contested a long series of complete parties, except by his suplencia in front of the Ray Vallecano. This, added to his injury in the jaw, are sufficient reasons to relieve it at least by this day. His place could be occupied by Pau Cubarsí if it moves to the area of head offices or, in his defect, if it moves to the area of sides, could be suplidos by Joãor Cancel in his natural profile or Sergi Roberto covering this demarcation.

Lewandowski Absent, called of attention of Xavi?

Finally, another of the striking absences in this announcement is the one of Robert Lewandowski. The goleador Barcelona, in spite of having annotated yesterday in front of the Girona, has not showed his best level futbolístico, although the statistical position it like one of the leaders of the Barça in offensive matter. However, a rest could be beneficial for recargar energies. In this sense, the cast culé could bet by Marc Guiu like pointer in the attack or Ferran Torres exerting the paper of false nine, since it has showed in this season that can make this function without problems.
