Jordi Alba explained after the match against Dynamo Kiev that he was feeling discomfort in his right foot, a disease that has kept him in cotton since Wednesday, but the full-back finally entered Barcelona’s squad for Sunday’s Santander League match against Real Madrid. At Camp Nou.
He said of the sprain he had against the Ukrainians due to a ball in the 54th minute: “It did me a lot of damage, but if I keep playing it won’t be serious.” A list of 23 players in which Pedri, Araujo, Dembele and Braithwaite were absent, all of them injured.
Instead, Eric Garcia, who missed the previous match against Dynamo Kiev due to suspension, returned to the call. The Catalans are emerging as rear axle starters with Gerard Pique. It is likely that Alba will start from the start on the left side and it remains to be seen who will occupy the right lane, who has chosen Mingueza, Sergi Roberto and Dest, who has played winger in recent matches.
Regarding the striker, everything indicates that Ansu Fati will start, because against Dynamo Kiev he started on the bench so as not to overburden his left knee, and is still in the process of adapting to the competitive rhythm after nearly a year on Al Sadd dry. Memphis will certainly be another offensive player and it remains to be seen who will complete the offensive line.
Eric Garcia returns to the call.
Judging by his recent titles and in Pedri’s absence, the 17-year-old Jaffe will also start, who will thus be one of the newcomers to the classics. Other players who could make their Barcelona debut against Madrid are Memphis, Sergio Con Aguero, Ricky Puig, Luc de Jong, Erji Garcia, Yusuf Demir and Alejandro Baldi.
