Sergi Roberto, another player from La Masia, could be revived and bring his experience to this great poster.
Joao Félix also holder
In the offensive sector, in addition to a striking Yamal during the trip to Campania, Joao Félix has chances of starting on the left wing of the Blaugranas’ 4-3-3, in order to feed Robert Lewandowski (or rather to try his luck while alone). Ferran Torres is not back on his feet in time.
Among the other players trained at the club, Iñaki Peña and Oriol Romeu will be on the bench, youngsters Mikayil Faye, Héctor Fort and Marc Guiu are likely to be in the squad, while Alejandro Balde and Gavi are unavailable.
