FC Barcelona-Almería: Line-ups for matchday 18 of LaLiga 23-24

The FC Barcelona faces this Wednesday the last official party of the 2023 with the obligation imperiosa to win. The Barcelona can not allow the luxury to lose more points in this day 18, especially in front of an Almería that still has not won in what it goes of League. The Barcelona receive to the almerienses home, in front of his people, and have to show that they still believe in competing him to Girona and Real Madrid the championship in 2024.

Xavi Hernández, however, has not had at all of luck to the hour to prepare this 'final' against the rojiblancos. Frenkie Of Jong, surely the player more in shape of the team in the last month of competition, saw if fifth yellow in Valencia and will not be able to be faced with the Andalusians by sanction. But if with this was little, this Tuesday Pedri lesionó in the training and will be of drop like minimum between two and three weeks, remaining obviously descartado for this crash.

With the absences of the Dutch and the Canarian, the trainer barcelonista has had to 'throw' more than ever of the Masia for the announcement against the Almería. Nevertheless, any of the canteranos summoned will split in the XI initial that the míster already has oficializado. The egarense has trusted only in a young promise already of the first team to cover the drops of his two stars.
