It is the only place in the staff of the FC Barcelona that does not have a specific spare, what has forced to Ernesto Valverde to improvise. The technician has tested until to four footballers to give rest to Jordi Alba, and will have to look for a solution for his drop in Saint Mamés
The drops have been an important obstacle for the FC Barcelona in what it goes of course, but seen his performance in the three competitions, could say that it has surpassed them successfully. The Catalans want to follow advancing in League, Champions and Glass of Rey, and in the middle of a calendar of the most demanding, will have to find the solution to the incógnita that more has incomodado to Ernesto Valverde in the last months.
The culés expect with restlessness that there are novelties on the state of Leo Messi and Ousmane Dembélé, but after the Classical in the tournament of the 'KO', the sanction to Jordi Alba will suppose a very serious problem in the championship of the regularity. The canterano saw in front of Valencia the fifth yellow card and fulfils cycle of cautions, by what will not be in the appointment of the first team in Saint Mamés.
The Argentinian and the French are, definitely, two key pieces in this group, but gives the circumstance that the one of L´Hospitalet de Llobregat is the only footballer without a specific spare in the staff. With Lucas Digne in the Everton, trusted his relief to the members of the filial, although Marc Cucurella left also to the Eibar and the only alternative became Juan Miranda.
In this season, the left side has contested already more than 80% of the minutes, what has opened the door to some very necessary rests. This time, the rotation will be forced, and the Txingurri already looks for him substitute. To date, the technician has tested to four distinct players in the place of Alba, and has conclusions varied with regard to the performance of each one.
The Barça looks for left side for Saint Mamés
The first in confronting to this challenge was Thomas Vermaelen, although it sank in a bad day to individual level and community that finish with defeat in Butarque. Miranda was the answer in several commitments of Glass of Rey and Champions, but another trip in the Ciutat of València against the Raise has separated him of the requirement of the first team.
In the last days, Valverde has gone back it to try, repositioning first to Nélson Semedo and afterwards to Sergi Roberto in the left-handed lane. When treating of two options that play to leg changed, the Barça loses something of surprise and efficiency in this profile, but is the most powerful candidature for the time being. Except that the extremeño decide to change of plans, both will be in the bands against the Athletic Club.
This yes, does not be necessary descartar that the preparador Barcelona opt by the surprise in earths bilbaínas, and the change could intuir, for example, if the sevillano reincorpora to the trainings with the 'greater' along the week. Bet by him would be the most natural option because it is also a specialist like side, but no wants to him burn to base of pressure and could have to expect his turn.
