In spite of the efforts of the directive, the FC Barcelona follows without resolving the registration of three players of the first team. One of them is Marcos Alonso, by the one who the club accelerated in the last hours to be able to include him in the announcement of the party in front of the Cádiz. However, except surprise of last minute, the Madrilenian will not be able to be available for the official debut culé in Montjuïc this Sunday.

Neither they will be available Iñaki Crag and Iñigo Martínez, although the case of the central is less urgent because it still does not have the high doctor to play. Regarding the Catalan goalkeeper, Xavi has had to bet by the juvenile Ander Astralaga like acting of Marc-André ter Stegen in the debut suspender belt in front of the Getafe, something that will repeat in front of the yellow group. Instead, Marcos himself had quite a lot of options to be in the XI in the day 2.

The absence of Alonso, a headache for Xavi

And it is that, after the injury of Ronald Araújo, the ex defender of Chelsea aimed to return to the eleven culé to cover the drop of the 'charrúa'.

The another viable option for Xavi was to plant to Alejandro Balde to profile changed, leaving to the Madrilenian like left-handed side.

However, the no registration of Marcos Alonso forces to Xavi to bet by Sergi Roberto to cover the right-handed band. In his defect, Eric García can reappear in the XI, well was as central or by the band, a position that already covered in some party the past season. Even, the presence of the '24' would give opportunity to play with a line of three head offices, soltando to Balde like carrilero beside Oriol Romeu.

The registration of Marcos Alonso can take two weeks more

The player of 32 years renewed by a year, with a clause of rescission of 50 million euros. Nevertheless, his new agreement depends on the approval of LaLiga to the last 'crowbar' activated by the directive, corresponding to the the sale of 29,5% of Barça Studios at the end German Free Football Finance. The 120 'kilos' that will leave the operation will not be contabilizados by the patronal until 1 September, with which Marcos will follow out of the staff. The own sucedería with Joao Cancel if, finally, closes his signing this week.
