The Barcelona has suffered constantly with the injuries in the defence. The despair carried even in winter to an intense debate on the suitability to incorporate urgently to Eric Garcia.
At present, this problem has solved with the step of the time until the point that Ronald Koeman has of his nine defences for the final of the Glass of the King of the Saturday in front of the Athletic: Dest, Sergi Roberto, Hammered, Mingueza, Araujo, Lenglet, Umtiti, Jordi Alba and Junior Firpo.
The most expected return is the one of Gerard Hammered after surpassing the injury that ailed him from the semifinal of the Glass in front of the Seville. The iconic central Barcelona already was summoned for the classical, although there it did not have minutes in the field, by what can not descartarse that it was in The Cartuja.
The presence of Hammered conditions the defensive training by what is likely that Koeman will return to the line of four. The Spanish defender is accustomed to play in the right flank with this device and the Dutch knows that it is his best position so much to defend as to give a good exit to the spherical.
The mates of Hammered
To be supported by his line to play with each one of the central in his natural profile, Koeman would follow with Lenglet like defender of the left band. For the moment, it would be complicated to joint to Hammered and Araujo for this party because in addition to that both are used to to play in the same zone, could be complicated for the Uruguayan go back in his 100% for this day.
By his part, Mingueza aims to the right side. The youngster has been all a disclosure and adherent to keep to a footballer that has had an excellent exert. His spirit contrasts with the one of Sergiño Dest, the one who disappointed deeply in Valdebebas. The North American, by his part, did not show the plus of intensity that required said appointment.
Sergi Roberto
Another very appreciated piece by Koeman is Sergi Roberto. Although Koeman could save it for the second time, as it did it in Valdebebas. Roberto can contribute intensity to the duel, well was by the right lane or in the medullary in function of how was the party. If the team needs more attack, Sergi Roberto would occupy the right-handed side, but if necessary contain, would reinforce the medullary.
By the left does not exist any debate. Jordi Alba is the owner of the lane and Junior Firpo only would have options in case of some mishap that ail it. The only of the nine defences that seems descartado is Samuel Umtiti, the one who carries five parties without participating.
