Valverde Organises another examination to choose to the substitute of Jordi Alba

As it has sucedido since it started 2019, the FC Barcelona confronts to a demanding calendar of Glass of Rey and League, that this time proposes a Classical in the Camp Nou. Although the trip against Valencia did not finish in discontent, there is an eye put in the Real Madrid and another in the Athletic Club, since this day coincides with another key appointment as it is the derbi Madrilenian between the whites and the Athletic.

The visit copera of the 'merengues' will go accompanied of an eleven of gala of Ernesto Valverde, but already accumulate the doubts of face finally of week. There is few -or any- doubts that Jordi Alba will be in the left side this Wednesday, but the uncertainty commands for the Sunday because the one of L'Hospitalet de Llobregat is sanctioned by accumulation of cautions.

As in the staff there is not a specific spare for the Catalan, the technician has to decide who assumes the mission to relieve him, and the problem is that the alternatives do not convince him too much. Along the course has tested with Thomas Vermaelen, Juan Miranda, Nélson Semedo and Sergi Roberto, with the Andalusian like only specialist in the place and an irregular performance.

Obviously, fulfil with good note in the functions of the canterano is complicated because it treats of one of the best players of the world in his position, but in his absence it is necessary to find solutions and the technician already is them looking for. It would be a capital surprise that the one of Kapellen repeated in a place in which it suffers because it is not so habituado as to the axis of the defence, so the possibilities reduce and could have some change.

Plant two right-handed in the lanes is the most likely option to day of today, if it does not attain to prevent it Miranda. With the season going in in the definite phase, Valverde has preferred to protect to the youngsters and subtract them minutes, although they follow participating in the trainings and the sevillano is an usual. This week will be key to value if the Txingurri restarts a bet that already gave him promising results or follows playing it with a 'patch' every time that it was missing Alba.

The Barça could fichar an acting for Jordi Alba

To avoid that this situation lengthen too much, in the summer 2019 the Barça could opt by fichar another side, that would occupy the pending link between Alba and Miranda. The first is 29 years old and the second 19, so the ideal would be to fit a piece that allow to cover to the veteran while the youngster finish to form without so many pressures. It will be necessary to see if this road fits in the planning of the culés, but for the moment, touches to throw with there is it.
