Barça bleeds out in LaLiga without Frenkie de Jong

The FC Barcelona has not lost since it restarted LaLiga, but little by little is remaining without options of title. The ties Are happening him bill in the fight by the leadership with a Real Madrid that explains his parties by victories, that recovered the first place and has not taken in putting earth of by half. The Catalans warn that they do not go to surrender , but the true is that each day have it more complicated.

One of the stones on the way of the culés has been the injury of Frenkie of Jong, that has left them without one of his best men. The one of Arkel was substituted by annoyances in the meeting in front of the Mallorca and Quique Setién wished that his mishap remained in one overloads, but a back exploration confirmed that it suffered a muscular problem in the sóleo of the right leg and that expected him several weeks of drop.

The absence of the Dutch has been decisive, since his mates only have obtained a victory in four parties without his support. After the visit to Sound Moix, did not happen of the bench in front of the Leganés and afterwards arrived the official announcement of his diagnostic. Then they arrived a tie in front of the Seville (0-0), a victory by the minimum against the Athletic Club and two equalised consecutive in front of Celtic of Vigo (2-2) and Athletic of Madrid (2-2).

Although it still has not reached the excellent level that showed in the Ajax, the youngster has turned into a pillar for the Barcelona, that have missed a very useful omnipresence. The international by Holland no only works to give exit to the balloon and improve the possession, but it also is a very effective weapon in the construction of the attacks and an absolute reference in defence, already was advanced or in own field.

His registers reflect the confidence that have awarded him the technicians, that have turned him into one of the most used of the staff. In the account of the minutes only surpass him Marc-André ter Stegen, Gerard Hammered, Antoine Griezmann and Leo Messi, this last taking advantage of his stay in the infirmary to leave backwards his 3.003 minutes. Between the midfield players, is of long the most used by in front of Sergio Busquets.

The Barça follows studying alternative

With Of Jong in the dry dam, the Barça follows studying alternative to complete his alignments, that have moved enough in search of solutions that do not finish to arrive. Another todoterreno like Arturo Vidal has turned into absolute headline, beside the own Busquets and increasing the leadership of Ivan Rakitic. Riqui Puig also has showed the head, but Setién follows needing a step forward that allow him happen of the tie to the victory. His next answer will arrive in front of another challenge complicated, the one who offers the visit to Villarreal.
