Riqui Puig is still 'invisible' for Xavi Hernández

When all aimed to that the greater obstacle of Riqui Puig to obtain minutes of game of regular way was Ronald Koeman, the arrival of a new trainer to the bench neither has guaranteeed him his presence on the lawn. With Xavi Hernández at the head of the team, the midfield player seems to not to win the confidence of any of his trainers.

In a principle seemed to have an important change for the canterano, that jumped to the field like titling in the first commitment suspender belt of the year in front of the Mallorca, that could contest from beginning to end. Xavi would give him a new vote of confidence in the Glass in front of the Linares, but had to withdraw it of face to the second half of party. Since, it has not seen again action.

After his last apparition, the Barça has confronted to the Granada and to the Alavés by LaLiga, to the Madrid in the semifinals of the Supercopa of Spain and in front of the Athletic of Bilbao by the eighth of the Glass of Rey. In any of them has been present, not even has been taken in account to start from the bench, as in previous occasions.

Riqui Puig, without opportunities for Xavi

Even with the lack of some effective in the centre of the field, the doors seem closed for him. Neither the long period of recovery that has moved away of the field to Pedri González or the sanction to Gavi has allowed him be called by to the technician egarense to contest some minutes. In fact, the míster has preferred to range to a Pedri that has not been to tope before that to Riqui Puig in optimum conditions.

To this adds the fact that the staff already has a lot of effective for the centre of the field, as Sergio Busquets, Frenkie Of Jong, Gavi, Nico González, Pedri and even the player of the filial Álvaro Sanz, that has received the called of the trainer egarense to contest some meetings with the first team, what has left to Puig practically without options.
