Nevertheless, in this last meeting, occurred an incident that has blurred part of the ecstasy in the City Condal by the good moment of the combined Barcelona: the injury of Frenkie of Jong.
The Dutch had to abandon the duel against the Galician cast because of an injury in the right ankle. After making medical examinations, determined that has a sindesmosis tibioperoneal distal of the right ankle and expects that it was out of the team during a time, what represents a true problem for Xavi, the one who explains every time with fewer options in a key position for his square as it is the centre of the field.
In front of this situation, one of the names that arises like main candidate is Gavi, midfield player that was the first option of the trainer of Terrassa for ingresar in this moment. However, it is not the only alternative for this position in the terrain of game, since in addition to Fermín López, the egarense contemplates other two options in case of contingency: Raphinha and Sergi Roberto.

Sensacional In the defensive work and afterwards was important in the second goal. It can play in the square of interior or of half tip. It has not played so much because it expelled or it remained expelled the day of the Getafe, from here will go in and will be important, do not have doubts".

Besides, it took advantage of to signal to one of the youngsters canteranos stood out of the season, Fermín López, saying: "it Is a discovery and can help us a lot of, to take into account, can be important".
