'Almost' impossible mission for Joao Cancelo ahead of the Super Cup final

Joao Cancel is the only doubt that there is in the populated infirmary of the FC Barcelona of face to the final of the Supercopa of Spain. With Pedri already recovered and to full performance, as it could see in the 'semis' in front of Osasuna, the own Portuguese, Iñigo Martínez, Gavi, Marc-André Ter Stegen, Marcos Alonso and from the other day Raphinha compose the 'hospital' of the Barça in these moments.

Marcos, Marc and Gavi have remained in the City Condal recovering, whereas Iñigo travelled to Arabia only to treat with the fisios, and Raphinha will be 'KO' between 3 and 4 weeks by fault of the injury in the biceps femoral that suffered in front of Osasuna. I cancel, by his part, arrived to earths equal Saudis that Pedri with the hope to be able to recover to time to help to the team, but on the contrary that the Canarian seems that he does not go it to achieve.

Joao Is not recovering all the fast that he and Xavi Hernández expected, and in these moments the feeling is that it does not go to be able to be in the final against the Real Madrid. The footballer had for two or three weeks when it fell in The Palms on 4 January and only have happened 9 days, by what seems 'impossible mission' that it can arrive to an optimum level as to compete. In spite of this, his presence is not descartada to 100% because he wants to play and poses even infiltrate, by what will not decide at all until seeing him in the training of this Saturday.

I cancel it could risk to a greater injury

Up to now, the luso has not been able to complete any training of which has done the Barcelona in Arabia, although it has been able to him see working to his rhythm in the previous of the 'semis'. Allow him play tomorrow could be an unnecessary risk, taking into account how is right now. A relapse or a greater injury are more than possible if it forces too much without having sanado entirely. However, everything will depend on his feelings and of the decision of the trainer barcelonista, that will be beside the doctors the one who have the last word.
