They accumulate the headaches for Quique Setién. If it already had sufficient problems in the defensive saga when having only three defenders in the staff of the first team, to which added a central of the filial as it is Ronald Araújo, now every time has of less effective in said zone. And it is that Gerard Hammered could not play by sanction in front of the Alavés, and Clément Lenglet lesionó to the beginning of the second time.

This caused that Arturo Vidal played of head office during the second half, to the not having Setién natural spares for the place of defender in the bench. It jumped to the field Semedo, Sergi Roberto went to the centre of the field and the Chilean midfield player planted as improvised defensive couple of Ronald Araújo, taking into account the absence of Hammered and the injury of Samuel Umtiti, the one who follows moved away of the terrains of game.

Further of the fact to play all the second half in front of the Alavés with a 'patch' in defence, that was not a big problem when going winning the Barça by goleada, the injury of Lenglet yes puts in alert to the 'staff' technical of Quique Setién of face to the following party in the calendar, the turn of eighth of final of the Champions League against the Naples in the Camp Nou.

The party will be of here to two weeks, and foresees that for then the muscular problem of Lenglet already was resolved. This would allow him form saga title with Gerard Hammered, the one who already will be able to go back to play after his sanction of this Sunday, and leave to a third head office like Ronald Araújo in the party. All this without knowing what will happen with Samuel Umtiti, whose continuity in the club hangs of a thread and that besides is lesionado.

The Barça needs to a new defender

The FC Barcelona, was as it was, will have the need this summer to sign to a new central to have ensured said zone in the staff, after the practically confirmed exit of Jean-Clair Todibo to a foreign club if it arrives a good offer. Possibly it was the most delicate zone of the staff, and the Barça will need to reinforce it with urgency to improve his competitive provision.

Until the day of today, the season 2019-20 of Gerard Hammered and Clément Lenglet has been very good. Ronald Araújo aims ways and will remain in the first team almost with total security, by what so only needs fichar to a new defender to complete the plot, having the hypothetical exit of Umtiti.
