World Sports Talks Barcelona s starting arrangements: midfielder is short of people, Pedri is expected to partner with Casador

"World Sports" published an article talking about the arrangements of Barcelona's starting lineup.

The numerous injuries in Barcelona restricted the starting arrangements against Valencia, but Frick could still send a team with strength to strive for a new round of victory. Two important players, Barde and De Jong, will both lose the roster due to injury.

In this context, Martin is most likely to play as the left-back position, while Cassado is expected to form a double midfielder with Pedri. It should be noted that Garvey is also unable to play due to discomfort in his right knee. Although Bernal has been allowed to make a comeback, Frick confirmed that he will start from the substitute after his return. This situation makes midfield choices limited, and Cassado, who had previously started against Levante, is very likely to enter the starting lineup again. The arrangement of the

defense line will be another suspense. Frick has been adjusting his defensive lineup in the first few games of the league, and this time he has to make another change due to the absence of Valder. Araujo, who returned from South America, may have physical energy consumption and may get a chance to rest. Kubasi and Eric Garcia form a central defender, and Conde serves as the right back. On the other hand, Ormo and Ferming will continue to compete for the midfielder position, with the two playing time during the national team game.

Yamar's absence is another setback for Flick, and his replacement may be Swedish young player Rooney Badge who is ready to make his debut. Frick also said at the press conference that Rafinia was in good condition and could play, while Lewandowski might have his first start for the season.

If the three forward combination is confirmed, Rashford and Ferran will be on standby as back-up surprises.
