Of face to the visit of the 'merengues' to the City Condal, the culés are very pending of the infirmary, that has touched to the sides. Although already they have surpassed demanding proofs like the Borussia Dortmund and the Athletic, Ernesto Valverde expects to recover to his headlines what before, and not adding more names to a list of absences that already has confirmed the drop of Ousmane Dembélé.
Jordi Alba apura his options to arrive to time to the clash against the whites, after suffering a relapse of his ailment in the biceps femoral of the left thigh the past 5 November. Then they did not mark terms for his comeback, but has gone improving and soon will check how answers to a load of greater work. The key would be that it could return in front of the 'txuri urdin' and contest some minutes to take rhythm, since if no, Junior Firpo will have to park his doubts and keep in the eleven in another commitment of maximum level.
