Xavi will have a tough time picking his starting eleven for the Valencia game on Sunday – unless Ronald Araujo recovers from an injury.
Six defenders will be unavailable for the match as things stand! Dani Alves (suspension), Gerard Pique (suspension), Ronald Araujo (injury), Clement Lenglet (injury), Samuel Umtiti (injury) and Alejandro Balde (injury) are all set to miss the game.
Here’s how Xavi could line up this weekend.
Ter Stegen; Dest, Garcia, Mingueza, Alba; Pedri, Busquets, Gavi; Adama, L. de Jong, Torres.
Xavi could also revert to a 3-4-3 if needed, playing Frenkie de Jong at centre-back.
Ter Stegen; Dest, Garcia, F. de Jong, Mingueza, Alba; Pedri, Gavi; Adama, L. de Jong, Torres.
There are basically no other centre-back options available, so we should really hope that Araujo recovers in time.
Anyway, let’s imagine he doesn’t make it to the game: what option do you like more and why?
