Calendar of FC Barcelona

To day of today, is not at all clear that Leo Messi can have minutes next Saturday against the Alavés in the Camp Nou, in the corresponding duel to the third day of League Santander 2016-17. The Argentinian star has landed ahead of time in Barcelona by some annoyances in the zone of the pubis, and the medical part is clear: it has to recess the load of work.

Like this the things, making exercises of physiotherapy and without being able to train to the maximum level beside the rest of his mates, is little likely that "The Flea" play in front of the Basque group theSaturday . Luis Enrique, fortunately, will have of several options of big calado to substitute to Messi in the case that the Argentinian can not lucir his quality.

The first of all, and more likely, would go through to plant to Burn Turan like third reference of attack, already was playing like left-handed or right-handed extreme, but forming attacker trio with Neymar Jr and Luis Suárez, although the Brazilian hardly will have trained to the orders of Luis Enrique after having happened more than a month and half in Brazil.

Another alternative, this more conservative, would be to use to Sergi Roberto or Denis Suárez in the position of right-handed extreme, with Neymar/Burn and Luis Suárez like occupants of the others two squares of attack. If Roberto played of extreme, Aleix Vidal would have the titularity ensured like right side, playing like this his first official party this season 2016-17 like titling.

Finally, no descarta neither the inclusion of Paco Alcácer in the eleven, although the attacker youngster is more a "nine", and seems little likely that he or Luis Suárez can displace to the band to play of extremes. Another option would be that Neymar Jr acted of mediapunta, with Alcácer and Luis Suárez like tips more advanced, what would mean to vary slightly the diagram of Luis Enrique and leave without depth to the team in band.
