There are three positions in attack and a few alternatives up front for FC Barcelona. Ansu Fati has been the last to join and triggers doubts about who will be the three starting attackers of Xavi Hernández

Calendar of FC Barcelona

Ansu Fati Reappeared this Sunday in the Camp Nou after 101 days in the infirmary recovering of a muscular injury in the biceps femoral of the left thigh. It played fifteen minutes in the victory of the FC Barcelona on the RCD Mallorca (2-1) as leading centre. Xavi already warned that it wants it near of the rival goal.

The '10' Barcelona is the big illusion of the Barça to average and long term, but will go little by little and will not risk at all. Against the Majorcans played the last chamber of hour of party and foresees that it will go adding more minutes with the happen of the weeks whereas it recovers the rhythm and achieves his best level. The next four parties, last of the course, will be keys to see how is Ansu.

It is unlikely that the canterano was headline in what it subtracts of season, but yes that it is true that will condition the leading headline, that up to now comes being Ousmane Dembélé in the right, Ferran Torres by the left and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in the centre of the attack. Adama Traoré, unlike what had showed when it arrived to the Camp Nou, seem to have erased of the map and Xavi already 'raisin' of him.

To the equation it is necessary to add to Memphis Depay, the one who has left clear against the RCD Mallorca that it wants to form part of the plans of the trainer of Terrassa in this final stretch of the season, in addition to a Luuk of Jong that always is to disposal from the bench. Martin Braithwaite, finally, is 'sentenced' in the group culé.

Like this then , there are six players and three available positions. Everything seems to indicate that Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang will be the more 'prejudiced' and will go in in rotation so that Ansu Fati see minutes, because for the moment Dembélé and Ferran Torres seem intocables. The key gave it Xavi in press conference after the victory in the Camp Nou, desvelando his intentions with Ansu Fati in this final stretch of the season.

The key of Xavi

"I have tested to Ansu of 9 because I think that has to be near of area. It is necessary to go with feet of lead, caution. It is a special player, has goal", stood out, aiming besides that "they fall him without wanting to and mark. It has to be in the area. It goes back of an injury and see him more than 9 that in band. It is not with rhythm neither physical capacity, but happy"... Hinting that the change Aubameyang-Ansu will produce in all the parties.

In the left also can have movements. Memphis Depay Also is in conditions to play and against the Mallorca went much more decisive that Ferran Torres, by what the one of Foios could go in in rotation if no 'espabila' sooner that late.
