Quique Setién and Eder Sarabia will have to take a decision this Thursday: bet by the best eleven possible to sweep of the map to Osasuna or, by the contrary, decide by the rotations when being conscious that LaLiga Santander 2019-20 is very difficult​, and that besides is possible to win to the rojillos in the Camp Nou without need to force physically to several heavy weights.

Although the Cantabrian technician deny to admit it in press conference, the reality is that there are players to those who the tiredness is beginning to do mella. Gerard Hammered, Jordi Alba, Leo Messi, Lenglet... With the Real Madrid virtually champion of League, could be beneficial an injection of rotations in these two last days, so much to give rest to the more fatigados as to offer the opportunity to those who have had fewer minutes.

Without Antoine Griezmann by injury and taking into account that it will not be able to play in Champions League, the bet of Martin Braithwaite in the eleven against Osasuna seems safe, with all probability like companion of Messi and Suárez of start. It will be necessary to see if Ansu Fati has or no minutes, since no descarta that it play with the filial to help him to go up of category, so Setién could reserve him.

In the centre of the field, Busquets will return to the defensive pivote but, in the interiors, so much Sergi Roberto like Rakitic, Arturo Vidal and even Arthur could be of the game, although Setién already has warned that the Brazilian only will play if it is strictly necessary. Riqui Puig also is summoned, so the most likely is that have minutes of the same form that Of Jong. The Dutch, this yes, does not foresee that it go out of start.

Changes in defence... And it can that in the goal

In defence, the most logical would be to give rest to Jordi Alba so that between Júnior Firpo. The one of L'Hospitalet hardly has had rest, as only it lost the party in front of the Leganés by accumulation of yellow. In the right, Semedo would repeat in the alignment to give continuity to his big state of form.

The saga would be for Hammered and Lenglet, without descartar that Ronald Araújo can go in by the Catalan to win something of shooting, having in mind also the 'playoff' of promotion of the filial the Sunday. Finally it is the case of the goal, where foresees that Ter Stegen go back to be headline like minimum in front of Osasuna. And, if the Real Madrid wins LaLiga mathematically, then Net Walled could take the relief in the last day in front of the Alavés.
