FC Barcelona visits the New Los Cármenes Stadium this Saturday, in the match corresponding to matchday 20 of LaLiga. The team led by Xavi Hernández travels to Granada after achieving a tight victory against Linares (1-2) at the Municipal Stadium of Linarejos for the Copa del Rey. The Catalans arrive with the obligation to extend their winning streak to continue climbing positions that will consolidate them in the European positions, and bring them closer to Real Madrid at the top of the ranking.
Irregularities within the Blaugrana team have been frequent, and the egarense hopes to hit the ‘key’ against the people of Granada so as not to suffer any more matches. The transfer market has smiled at Terrassa, and was able to get the arrival of Ferran Torres, his star signing. However, with the departure of Philippe Coutinho by loan to Aston Villa, his registration is still awaiting.
Despite the new casualties of Ronald Araújo Y Frenkie de Jong, the Catalans want to hit the table and increase their winning streak. What’s more, Sergiño Dest He has already recovered from the COVID, and will return to the playing fields. Samuel umtiti Y Clement Lenglet, for their part, they have overcome their gastric problems and will be on the bench. Another variant for this match can be Dani Alves, one of Xavi’s reinforcements for this season, who has already ‘debuted’ in the Cup.
On the other hand, Gavi, ‘Ez’ Abde Y Alexander balde They have left the coronavirus behind, and have returned to the team. Similarly, the spinal cord may have the presence of Nico Gonzalez Y Riqui Puig, who have been important in the midst of so many injuries. Ousmane Dembele He is also in the squad, and already made his debut as a Barça scorer on his visit to Linarejos. Luke deJong, who was suspended in the Cup for his expulsion last season, will be available.
Memphis Depay Y Ansu Fati they have trained all this week, but only the Dutchman has entered the call. Those of Joan Laporta do not want to have any more surprises, and seek to liquidate the game as soon as possible. Granada arrives with a good streak, where He already has three consecutive league games without losing. Those of Robert Moreno have gained oxygen with respect to the descent, and can give a ‘stop’ to those of the Camp Nou. The Nasrid group has also been ‘hit’ by the virus, and loses Germán Sánchez and Alberto Soro as positive, although he has his starting eleven almost intact.
The quarry could also be a decisive factor in this match, and players like Ferran Jutglà The Ilias Akhomach They are an option for the owner presented by Xavi. The game will be difficult for a team that still has significant absences, but in the same way, Barça is the clear favorite to win the commitment and add three.
