The trainer of the FC Barcelona, Ernesto Valverde, will not have it at all easy along the present season 2018-19 to manage a situation that for the moment is being bearable, but that during the market of winter probably finish with some traspaso or cession to lighten the weight of the staff and avoid unnecessary tensions.

And it is that, to day of today, the FC Barcelona has of a very wide payroll of midfield players that prevents that all they can enjoy of the minutes that would wish in Can Barça, and more taking into account that the 'Txingurri' seem to have chosen already to his group of midfield players 'headlines' in the important parties, and to the group of players that are used to to go in like revulsivos from the bench.

Busquets, Coutinho and Rakitic have played it practically everything in what we carry of official season in the centre of the field, whereas Arthur and Arturo Vidal have been the midfield players that more have appeared from the bench for oxigenar the positions of interior.

Afterwards it is the case of Sergi Roberto, a natural midfield player that from does years plays 'reconverted' in the right side, and that seems that it will keep on being like this when having Valverde more confidence -for the moment- in him that in Nélson Semedo for the place of right side.

Cases aside are the ones of Aleñá and Samper, those who after his injuries look for to go back to take competitive rhythm in the trainings, and in the case of Aleñá, in the next parties of the Barça B for foguearse, precisely, with another of the big promises of the Barcelona quarry, the jovencísimo Riqui Puig, to the one who foresees that Valverde use in Glass of Rey.

Denis Suárez and Rafinha Alcántara, the most delicate cases

Finally we find the cases of Denis Suárez and Rafinha Alcántara, that possibly are the most complicated given the situation. The Hispanic-Brazilian hardly has played 45 official minutes in the Supercopa of Spain, whereas the Galician for the moment has not appeared, and is used to to be one of the first descartes in the announcements.

If the situation prolongs during the next parties of the FC Barcelona and both players continue without having minutes of game in the team, the most likely is that in the market of signings of winter look for them an exit, in shape of cession or of traspaso, of the same way that surely will look for him to Sergi Samper.
