Be trainer is not an easy work, and some of the decisions more meditadas that it has to take Ernesto Valverde each week correspond to the preparation of the alignments titled. Although the FC Barcelona has suffered in the last weeks an authentic plague of injuries, little by little begins to recover effective, and in front of the Espanyol could recover to three of a tacada.

Luis Suárez, Arthur Melo and Arturo Vidal have a lot of numbers to have of minutes in Cornellá-The Prat, and Ernesto Valverde has blessed dilemmas so much in the positions of attack as in the centre of the field. And it is that, if we give by safe the titularity of Luis Suárez in the front of attack, beside Leo Messi, the 'Txingurri' will have to decide if to the couple sudamericana accompanies them Coutinho or Dembélé.

The French arrives to the party more in shape that the Brazilian, but 'Cou' is the most expensive signing of the history of the club and has this special magic that hurts in the eyes when it can him see in the bench. An option would be to concede him the titularity to 'Cou' and leave to Dembélé in the bench so that it act like revulsivo in the second part, when the Brazilian was melted and also was it the defence of the Espanyol.

The case is that, ademá of this 'blessed' decision, Ernesto Valverde also will have to take another that concerns to the centre of the field. Splitting of the base that Busquets and Rakitic will be headlines, the another place could be occupied by Arthur Melo, already recovered of his small injury after having lost the parties in front of PSV Eindhoven, Villarreal and Cultural Leonese.

The XI of the Barça in Cornellá, with a lot of 'covered'

Arturo Vidal also seems that it is better of the feverish process that has crossed in the last days, and came playing very well in the last parties, by what also would be a reliable alternative. This, of course, without forgetting the hatching of Carles Aleñá and to a 'covered' as Denis Suárez, the one who comes to mark two goals in the dieciseisavos of Glass of Rey and wait, at least, go in in the announcement.

Ernesto Valverde will have of players of big quality in all the lines to face up to the Espanyol, in spite of having absences so stood out like the ones of Malcom, Umtiti or Sergi Roberto. In defence, remember, Vermaelen already played in front of the Cultural Leonese and could do it also in front of the Espanyol, although Lenglet and Hammered have a lot of more ballots. Semedo And Jordi Alba will occupy the sides.
