Heads and tails for Xavi: Raphinha recovers and Christensen remains 'out'

The FC Barcelona has a crucial party this Sunday against the Girona and Xavi Hernández needs to all his available healthy players. It is thus by what the presence of Raphinha in the training of this Friday is a big news for the trainer. The Brazilian could not train this past Thursday by muscular fatigue, but seems to have left these 'annoyances' backwards.

The left-handed extreme has been able to work with total normality beside the rest of his mates and definitely will be in the duel against the 'gironins'. In fact, taking into account the very that worked the team in the last two meetings with him to title, the normal is that it go back to go out of start in the right. The ex of the Leeds has now that round his good performances with goals and assistances if it does not want to go back to be argued.

By against, in the training of this 8 December went back to be missing Andreas Christensen, that follows slope of the birth of his second son. The Danish already had permission of the club for ausentarse the Thursday and has gone back to do it this Friday. If it does not happen at all odd, the normal would be that this Saturday went back to the trainings and that the Sunday play in front of the Girona. It will be necessary to see, clear is, if Xavi sees him mentally and physically to 100% to go out of start, that is what foresaw , or if it prefers to have Balde in the left, 'give back' to Cancel to the right and bet by the pair Koundé/Araújo in the centre of the saga.

Marcos Alonso follows 'touched' and several canteranos win presence

It fits to stand out also that Marco Alonso follows without training to the same rhythm that the other and is doubt for the crash of this Sunday. The Madrilenian could not be in front of the Athletic and works now to surpass his 'annoyances' and can arrive to the crash in front of the Girona. The feelings are positive, but everything will depend on how find this Saturday.

Besides, this Friday Xavi wanted to have the presence of several canteranos, as Pau Cubarsí, that has a lot of numbers to go in in the next list of summoned; Héctor Fort; Mikayil Faye; Astralaga; Aleix Garrido or Alarcón. Varied of them will be in the announcement for the derbi Catalan, although it is very little likely that have minutes.
