A list without surprises the one that Xavi Hernández offered this afternoon for today’s game against Betis. In fact, man by man It is the same that he offered last week against Villarreal, with the exception of the presence of the young left-back, Alejandro Balde, on the list.
The truth is that Xavi continues with many problems in the upper block as he does not recover any injured: Ansu Fati, Martin Braithwaite, Kun Agüero, Pedri and Sergi Roberto are still out. Furthermore, none of them point to a short-term return: only Ansu could reappear before the end of the yearAlthough Xavi himself has already made it very clear that they are not going to make mistakes in the past regarding giving entry to players who are not yet one hundred percent. In this way, the forward’s options to travel to Munich next week are reduced to a minimum.
Captain Sergio Busquets will also have to pay special attention to the cards.: He is on the verge of suspension having accumulated four in this course. If you see a yellow in the game this afternoon, you will not be able to accompany the team on Sunday in its game against Osasuna in Pamplona.
There is also the question of whether Dembélé, who plays his first LaLiga match at the Camp Nou, will be able to start the game from the eleven or it will continue to enter the second half, as it did against Benfica and Villarreal. If he finally makes his debut in the starting team, it would be the first time this season.
The complete list of players for the LaLiga match against Betis (4:15 p.m.) This Saturday at the Camp Nou is as follows: Ter Stegen, Neto, Piqué, Dest, Lenglet, Mingueza, Eric, Umtiti, Araújo, Alba, Sergio Busquets, Frenkie, Memphis, Riqui Puig, Coutinho, Luuk, Dembélé, Demir, Tenas, Gavi, Balde, Abde and Nico.
