Calendar of FC Barcelona

Xavi Hernández has taken out, for the moment, very good réditos of the staff of the FC Barcelona from his arrival to the bench culé in November of 2021. However, no all the players are having the same leadership, as it is logical, but there is three blaugranas in particular that are having very few minutes on the green. This is the case of Adama Traore, Martin Braithwaite and Riqui Puig, three players that the technician egarense seems to have descartado in the plans for the 2022-23.

The most striking case is, definitely, the one of Adama. The one of L'Hospitalet de Llobregat arrived at the end of the wintry market and began being headline in LaLiga and in the Europe League, but the explosion futbolística of Ousmane Dembélé him relegó to the bench and only has played 44 minutes in the last seven parties of the Barça in LaLiga, in which it has not been headline. The last presence of the forward in the XI of Xavi traces back to 27 February in the goleada in front of the Athletic (4-0). This day played 82 minutes, without goals neither assistances.

In fact, Adama has not attained to première still like goleador culé. The player of 26 years adds a pair of assistances in eight parties of League and the same number of passes goal in six presentations in the Europe League, tournament in where it played his last party like titling, on 7 April in the tie in front of the Eintracht in Germany (1-1). In this sense, the little prominence of the forward does to boast that the Barça will not exert the option of purchase and that will return to the Wolverhampton in August.

In the forward, another striking case is the one of Martin Braitwaite. The Danish returned to the action on 23 January after recovering of the injury of knee that kept him 143 days of drop. Since, the one of Esbjerg has been acting in 10 of the last 12 days of League. Only it played 10 minutes in the goleada in front of the Osasuna (4-0) and was not summoned in front of the Elche, by which adds 2 goals and 1 assistance in 5 parties in the 2021-22 (248 minutes). With the World-wide of Catar so near, is presumable that the Danish look for gone out in summer, as it is more than clear that Xavi does not have he.

Riqui Puig, the another 'condemned' to the ostracism

In the case of Riqui Puig, the situation of the midfield player also is complex. The one of Matadepera played 17 minutes in front of Osasuna and marked the last of the four goals culés in which it went his only apparition in the last 12 days of LaLiga. With agreement until June of 2023, is very likely that the club look for to do box with him in summer, as only it has contested 380 minutes in the season, with 1 alone goal in 14 presentations. In this way, Xavi goes making his staff for the 2022-23, by which expect a lot of movements (signings and exits) in a summer in which Puig, Braithwaite seem allocated to leave .
