The Barça, with a headache less against the Alavés

While the FC Barcelona will have the drop of Javier Mascherano by injury and also will give rest to Rafinha Alcántara, to the one who have planted him a mask by fault of the nasal fracture that suffered the past week, the Sportive Alavés also will have to face the meeting against the culés without the one who was the big hero against the Celtic of Vigo the past Wednesday, Edgar Méndez.

Edgar was the author of the goal that gave the pass to the Alavés to the final of the Glass of the King against the FC Barcelona, but will not be able to play this weekend when being lesionado, as it has informed the own Basque club through an official communiqué.

"Edgar Méndez will remain out of the competition until recovering of his injury in the left leg. The player albiazul suffers a break miofascial of the third distal of the long portion of the biceps femoral of the left leg, that will prevent him compete this Saturday in front of the Barcelona. From the Club want to show our support and affection to Edgar and wish him that it recover prompt so that it follow giving so many illusions to the alavesistas".

The FC Barcelona, with the premise to win the party

The FC Barcelona, therefore, will not have to concern of the attacker of the Basque group, that marked to the Celtic to the few minutes to go in in the field in replacement of Gaika Toquero, the mythical ex forward of the Athletic of Bilbao.

The Barcelona, in any case, has the clear aim to achieve the three points in Mendizorroza to continue threatening to the Real Madrid at the head of the classification of League Santander, although the whites have two parties postponed.
