The atypical situation that lives Mascherano in the FC Barcelona

Curious situation the one who is 'suffering' Javier Mascherano in this start of season 2017-18. And it is that Ernesto Valverde has not wanted to carry out for the moment rotations in the axis of the defence, having allowed that Gerard Hammered and Samuel Umtiti have contested to the complete the last 270 minutes of game against Alavés (0-2), Espanyol (5-0) and Juventus (3-0).

Mascherano Chains therefore three consecutive parties in the bench without playing neither an only minute, something that did not have him sucedido never since it landed in the Camp Nou in summer of 2010, pertinent of the West Ham, does already seven seasons and leaving the injuries to the margin.

Mascherano Has starred a spectacular performance these last seven seasons with the FC Barcelona, but the irruption of Samuel Umtiti the past campaign has him relegado to the suplencia in the current, although it is likely that along the present course Ernesto Valverde go doing rotations and have the Argentinian like the third head office of the team.

The only time that Mascherano chained four parties without going out of entrance was recently landed, when it was three meetings followed substituting to a mate, Sergio Busquets, when still it had the 'Jefecito' so that it played in the centre of the field.

Mascherano, with win to follow playing

In the following seasons, except the 2013-2014, if Mascherano did not appear by the field was by injury, sanction or announcement with the selection of Argentina, also with some exception in the case that the technicians gave him special rest or extra holidays.

Mascherano, a 'intocable' of the Barça, lives the one who could be his last season in the club. Because has win to follow playing, and if it does not achieve it in the Barcelona is possible that try it in any another part the next campaign.
