Calendar of FC Barcelona

After beginning the month of February with bad foot, the FC Barcelona prepares to move away the doubts in an envite demanding of the calendar in League, Champions and Glass of Rey. After empatar in the championship of the regularity against Valencia and Athletic Club, the Real Valladolid is the last 'break' before four consecutive exits to measure to Olympique of Lyon, Seville and Real Madrid (league and Glass), what has put on the table the possibility to go back to the rotations.

The Catalans will present in the Camp Nou after some free days in which they have not faced any commitment, something that has allowed them recargar the batteries and give margin to the recovery of some 'touched'. Now, Ernesto Valverde has to resolve the puzzle, valuing if it is better to do changes or bet by the safe to go back to the senda of the triumphs.

In the line of the last meetings, the Txingurri could forget of revolutions, but the bet yes would include some modifications in the alignment. The mix of headlines and acting that could tie up the three points without too many sobresaltos, but that would allow, at the same time, freshen to some of the indisputable for the appointments of maximum level that are for coming.

Of the goal is not foreseen that it move Marc-André Ter Stegen, but it will be necessary to see if the variations affect to the retaguardia. Jordi Alba will repeat in the left-handed lane if there is not surprise, Sergi Roberto and Nélson Semedo will play the right-handed and could have rest for the central. Gerard Hammered is the only player of field that has played it everything in LaLiga, and Clément Lenglet finish renqueante in Saint Mamés and could yield his place to Thomas Vermaelen. It would be odd that the technician will play it to him with the Belgian beside Jeison Murillo or Jean-Clair Todibo, by what only would appear one of the three beside another of the fixed.

In the medullary also discern rotations, although in this case, much more evident. The drop of Arthur has left to the Barça without the key piece in the room of machines, by what it is necessary to throw with which remain until further notice. Sergio Busquets goes in also in the list of intocables of the extremeño, so the one who pugnará by a place with the equally fatigado Ivan Rakitic and the apercibido Arturo Vidal will be Carles Aleñá, to the that expects from the pitido initial or as big alternative in the replacements.

Messi conditions the forward of the Barça

The doubts also rondan a zone in which usually they reign the certainties, and is that the presence of Leo Messi conditions the forward. The Argentinian does not finish to leave backwards the annoyances in the right thigh, but the debate centres in if it has to rest and think in improving for the Champions or have minutes not to lose the rhythm that will need to mark differences in Europe.

Of the participation of the '10' could depend the one of any of his mates, although it seems clear that the one who also will go in is Ousmane Dembélé. The Frenchman was some weeks inactivo and needs rhythm, something that achieves playing. Are or no the one of Rosario, touches to check also if to Luis Suárez arrives him a needy rest, if there is insistence with Philippe Coutinho and if it goes back to have presence an esperanzado Malcom.
