OPTIONS FOR THE RIGHT BACK
Xavi's three alternatives to 'replace' Sergi Roberto
Although everything seems to indicate that Joao Cancelo will take the reins, alone, of the right back of FC Barcelona, Xavi Hernández will be forced to find a substitute for him. In La Masia there are three possible alternatives
The FC Barcelona confirmed during the afternoon of the Wednesday the drop of Sergi Roberto, the one who suffers an injury in the sóleo. The forecast is that it will be out of action between two and three weeks, by what will leave to Joao Cancel like the only healthy alternative for the right side. The Portuguese comes playing it absolutely everything, also with Portugal, and everything seems to indicate to that it will not recess the rhythm in this competition. It can keep on being indisputable headline and esquivará the rest that, probably, needs.
In any case, the most logical is that Xavi Hernández will look for to fish in the inferior categories of the Barça to have an alternative prepared in case of emergency. It does not be necessary to overlook that I Cancel it is the only right-handed side natural. Ronald Araújo and Alejandro Balde can play in said position, but the trainer egarense will prefer to situate them in his positions 'natural'.
The names in the diary of Xavi Hernández
This leaves three names of The Masia that can serve of turns off fires in the first team: Marc Casadó, Héctor Fort and Álvaro Pérez Field, better known like Trilli. The three are players that are in capacity to assume the challenge to reinforce the right side in case that it was necessary. Or to give him rest to Cancel in some second half. Xavi has them aimed in the diary and it will be necessary to see if they go in in the announcement for the visit of the Athletic Club, this Sunday from the 21:00 hours in Montjuïc.
The captain of the Barça Atlètic is the first option of the list and the staff technical Barcelona knows it very well because it already has added opportunities with the 'big'. Although his position is the one of the pivote, in the right side also has stood out and is an alternative more than reliable. It is one of the 'greater' and will be in conditions to assume the challenge in case to have opportunities. It is a footballer that covers a lot of spaces and that it can mark the difference.
However, as they remember from 'SPORT', would leave to the filial of Rafa Márquez without one of his pieces more keys. With the irregularity that are having in this start of season, does not seem an option that have a lot of continuity. The proof of this is that Casadó great four parties followed remaining out of the announcements of the Barça to concentrate in the Barça Atlètic. In case to be like this, would open the door for the juvenile Héctor Fort, the one who is not happening unobserved.
Fish in The Masia can be one of the big solutions
It is one of the sides with greater projection of The Masia and that would serve of ideal spare for Cancel. Part always by the band, but is used to to confine by the centre of the field. It has had opportunities, even, adding to the attack and can be an important alternative if it goes adding continuity in the trainings of the first team. It does not be necessary to overlook that has only 17 years and is in full growth. It can give an important jump.
The last alternative, that is the most unlikely by several reasons, is the one of Ávaro Pérez Field, Trili, the one who has not had a lot of opportunities in this start of season because it began with physical problems and, when it returned, the irruption of Fort left him, if it wants , eclipsado. It is a player that already has experience, by his step in the Sportive The Coruña, but could be very precipitated his announcement with the first team.
