Gündogan, the next to enter the round of rotations of Xavi

Without Pedri, any player of the FC Barcelona interprets like Ilkay Gündogan the style of game that Xavi Hernández wishes in his project. After more than half decade with Pep Guardiola in the Manchester City, the German does not need too many indications to know how build football in the Catalan team, but also is true that to his almost 33 years can not absorb the duties of another footballer.

With the Canarian of drop at least another pair of weeks more, and a calendar increasingly asfixiante, Gündo great seven titularities in the eight parties that the Barça has contested up to now in the season, playing the 90 minutes in many of them. Besides, it is necessary to add that the mediocampista was with his selection in the first international stop and even finished with a hit in the low back, a situation that did him receive his only suplencia until the moment.

The Barça has to administer very well to his 'jugón'

Ilkay Rested in front of the Real Betis, finished playing 25 minutes, but after this had to play everything in front of the Celtic and the Mallorca by the absence of Pedri and also the back of Frenkie of Jong. And it is that Xavi Hernández has remained without the two footballers that could allow rotar with Gündogan, understanding that Gavi fulfils right now with other roles.

It is thus that to receive this Friday to the Seville (21:00 hours), the German has a lot of chevrons to go in in the dynamics of rotations of the technical body Catalan, especially in front of his inconsistente performance this Tuesday in Mallorca. Like this, everything indicates that Xavi will have to be flexible with his 4-3-3 and include to a forward like Raphinha or Joao Félix like third mediocampista, or trust an acting so that Gündo rest.

Only two mediocampistas available for Xavi

Having Champions next Wednesday, in the field of the Port wine, the stage in front of the ones of Nervión is the favourable so that the ex City have a break, although Sergi Roberto -advancing to Gavi- or Fermín, are his only natural alternatives. The canterano of 20 years comes to mark his first so much and an opportunity to title for the first time does not seem descabellada, although already the míster culé showed to Raphinha like a 'joker' for a similar situation.
