These are Xavi's offensive options to face the Memphis injury

The FC Barcelona has had a day before navideña for the forget. The defeat home in front of the Betis, his game of the Champions, and now the injury of Memphis Depay, continues adding more weight to the back of Xavi Hernández. The blaugrana need to restart the confidence that have lost, and the party this Sunday in The Sadar can be the starting point. However, the fault of goal is a key point and the Barcelona know it.

The forward of the 'orange mechanical' went out touched this Wednesday after the meeting by League of Champions in front of the Bayern of Munich. Later, the Barça communicated that the attacker suffers an injury in the biceps femoral of the left thigh, with what will be several weeks out of the fields. In front of the drop of the Dutch forward, the technician egarense will have to assign him leadership to elements that have not had continuity under his mandate.

Luuk Of Jong would be one of them. The player arrived to the team in the past management of Ronald Koeman, and has not had the necessary minutes to win a place in the eleven headline. This could change this Sunday. The leading centre could combine with the explosion by the bands of Dembélé to capitalise the sendings to the area. Besides, the attacker would mean a threat more for the scarce aerial game that present the Catalans. Philippe Coutinho also could be another option, although the Brazilian exerts a more retarded function that the one of the Dutch.

Another of the options is Yusuf Demir. The Austrian of 18 pertinent years of the Rapid Vienna neither has had the necessary time to adapt to the team, and would not fall him badly add minutes in front of the Osasuna. The born in Wien is more an extreme that a forward, however has arrival. It lacks height but no of speed, by what could offer this 'explosion' that so much needs the group culé. Also they could take part players of the Barça B as Llias Akhomach, although they are options less viable for a Catalan group that needs to add of to three in what it remains year.

The importance of fichar in January

The Barcelona has lacks in all the flanks of the team, and this is more consequence of the injuries that another thing. The ones of Joan Laporta know that they have to give him gone out to several players to be able to fichar, and rearm of face to the second half of season. Names like Philippe Coutinho and Samuel Umtiti already are on the table. January plants like a key month for the destination of the institution in 2022.
