The Supercopa of Spain already was a turning point for the FC Barcelona the past course and in the Catalan club trust that it go back to be like this. Proof of the big importance that represents for the team, in spite of being a lower title in comparison with LaLiga, the Glass or the Champions, has been the big will of the 'touched' for being available for the semifinal of this Thursday in front of Osasuna (20:00 hours), or at least for the possible final in front of the Real Madrid.
Like this it has been with Pedri and Joao Cancel, but in the case of the side the stage seems much more complicated to be able to see him in Saudi Arabia in some point of this week. And it is that already the first prognoses him descartaban for the appointment, but with his positive feelings the staff of Xavi Hernández decided to add it to the expedition, thinking especially in a final that would contest the Sunday 14.
Xavi knows very very which is the stage with Cancel
"With which are more optimistic for morning is Pedri, that has trained the last days and has good feelings. I cancel for tomorrow I see it complicated and Iñigo is practically descartado", explained the own míster this Wednesday in the room of press. This comment seems more than realistic if we take into account that the problem of Cancel has been a distention of knee.
The injury suffered it the luso the past day 4 in The Palms and usually is a problem that carries to the footballers some two, or even three, weeks of drop. In days would be some 15 days like minimum, and understanding that the final would be 10 days after his problem, seems to be out of this duel. For the semifinal of this Thursday is already descartado, by what his role in the side will be for Jules Koundé or Ronald Araújo, except some surprise with Sergi Roberto by part of Xavi.
An important footballer for the Barça now, but also for what comes
The importance of the presence of Cancel in the final, further of his obvious talent on the field, would be also the can have a player accustomed already does several years to play meetings of this type, something that never comes badly when it tries win a title. But it does not seem careful neither by part of the Barça try force and cause a graver injury, when when returning of Arabia still will follow without Iñigo Martínez, in addition to Ter Stegen, Gavi and Marcos Alonso, those who directly did not travel to be able to follow with his respective treatments of recovery in Barcelona.
