Good news for Barça. Sergi Barjuan recovers four fundamental players in the list of 23 footballers who travel to Kiev this Monday. They are Ronald Araújo, Frenkie de Jong, Ansu Fati and Ousmane Dembélé. Of course, the coach did not specify how long each player is for. De Jong, very smiling in the minutes they saw each other during training at the Ciutat Esportiva Sant Joan Despí, is recovered from the muscle problem that affected him in the Classical, where he played a horrible game. Meanwhile, Ansu, reserved the last two games for a blow to his right knee (the non-operated one), also seems ready. Who was not in training was Sergi Roberto, who will be out in Kiev. Ronald Araújo is also recovering from his right thigh hamstring injury. And Dembélé returns more than four months later after undergoing an operation for the disinsertion of the biceps femoris tendon in his right knee.
Eleven for Kiev begins to clear up. The recovery of De Jong, and the good moment of Nico and Gavi, allows us to think of an eleven with the three plus Busquets. In defense, the most likely line of four is Mingueza, Eric, Lenglet and Alba. Two posts would remain in the attack. One would be for Memphis and the other will be for Ansu, who returns after the injury after the Classic. If he’s not 100%, Dest will go far right. If Ansu is chosen, the Dutchman with a US passport could play side.
The 23-player roster is made up of: Ter Stegen, Dest, Araújo, Riqui, Dembélé, Memphis, Ansu, Demir, Neto, Coutinho, Lenglet, Luuk de Jong, Jordi Alba, Frenkie de Jong, Mingueza, Umtiti, Eric , Iñaki Peña, Nico, Gavi, Balde and Álvaro Sanz. Pedri, Piqué, Sergi Roberto, Agüero and Braithwaite stayed in Barcelona.
