The FC Barcelona will confront this Saturday to a very hard party against the RCD Espanyol in Cornellà-The Prat. The terracings of the RCDE Stadium will tighten to convert the enclosure in a pot to pressure of which the Barcelona expect to go out with the three points. For this, Ernesto Valverde will not be able to have all his key pieces.
The infirmary of the FC Barcelona arrives quite full to the party with sensitive drops like the already known of Samuel Umtiti, Sergi Roberto, Rafinha or Malcom. Nevertheless, there has been an unexpected, the one of Arthur Melo that everything did to foresee that it could be recovered of face to the party against the blanquiazules.
The midfield player exercised with the rest of the group in the last sessions, but has not arrived to time to be in full form. It overloads it that it suffered in the party against the Athletic of Madrid played in Wanda Metropolitan did that it have lost all the parties to date and the drop will lengthen .
In this way, Ernesto Valverde will have to look for him substitute to Arthur that it has done indispensable during the last weeks. The Brazilian is a player that loses very few balloons and that contributes possession and control to the team, shots that do him indispensable for the 'style Barça'.
The logic indicates that Arturo Vidal will be the player that occupy the place of Arthur in the centre of the field, although Ernesto Valverde also has other options. Carles Aleñá and Denis Suárez can occupy the place of interior, whereas Philippe Coutinho also could delay his position to the centre of the field.
