The FC Barcelona visits this Sunday (21:00 hours, in Spain) to the Espanyol by the vigesimocuarta day of LaLiga Santander, in a key party to follow recortando distances with the leadership of the Spanish championship and for 'confirm' the good feelings that left the team in the last party, in front of the Athletic of Madrid, which finish with a goleada of 4-2 to give back him the illusion to the barcelonismo.

The Barça wants to repeat the history in front of the 'pericos' and have not rested with such to prepare the party and be to tope physically to show the best possible version in a so complicated field as it is it the RDCE Stadium, where already fell the Real Madrid (2-1) and 'saved' the Athletic of Madrid with a goal in the 90+9' to avoid a prick (1-2) in the present season.

Xavi Hernández wants to have his best players and has received the good news that Eric García will be able to be available for the appointment, a month after his injury distal in the biceps femoral of the right thigh. The central has a lot of opportunities of colarse in the list of summoned and the trainer egarense will explain, finally, with him.

In the visit of the Barça to the Granada, the past 8 January, Eric García asked the change happened the 50 minutes after having tumbado to the terrain of game by muscular annoyances. Clément Lenglet went in to replace him. Shortly after the Barcelona club issued a communiqué and 'confirmed' that would be of drop by five weeks, although it has recortado time and finally has happened little more than a month for his return.

An important reinforcement for Xavi

Eric García is a very important player for the trainer egarense and an extra option to configure his defensive saga, especially now that Dani Alves will not be available in the next two parties of the Barça by sanción (Espanyol and Valencia) and that Ronald Araújo, as it has happened before, could displace to the right side, what would cause that the centre of the defence was starred by Hammered and Eric, if it is to be headline.

The most logical option, now that it is not Alves, is that Sergiño Dest split like titling in the right side. Ronald Araújo will be 'fixed' in the alignment and will remain the dispute of Eric and Hammered by the remaining square, although the second captain culé, by continuity, aims to be headline against the 'pericos'.
