How Barcelona can avoid further injury crises
The Spanish Champions are currently suffering through a lot of injury crises. Barcelona have already lost both their newly signed star players http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ibrahim-Afellay-c16547.
The Frenchman Eric Abidal is also going to miss the game against Racing Santander despite the fact that he has played for the French national team.
Barcelona currently have a lot of players who have the tendency to get injured. Most of the first team players have to go for international duties; hence, there’s a chance of fatigue and a lot of players get injured.
Last season the Spanish side was represented by as much as eight Barcelona players. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011 won the FIFA World Cup 2010 and that is the reason why the players who returned from international duty were injured and Josep Guardiola had to rely too much on second
choice players.
Currently Barcelona are without a lot of players and Josep Guardiola has to make sure that he doesn’t lost any more players. There are many players who have seen a lot of football lately and the Catalan coach will have to rest them in order to avoid any
absences.
Currently coming back from international duty are players like Carles Puyol, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Carles-Puyol-c8331.
The club captain Carles Puyol has recently recovered from a career threatening knee injury and Josep Guardiola will have to play him in order to win games and avoid further injuries to the other centre backs. Eric Abidal cannot be played as he is already
having pain in his hamstring while http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Javier-Mascherano-c18071 has played a lot of football.
Gerard Pique and Carles Puyol should resume their partnership in the centre back position while Montoya and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Adriano-c3773 should play in the right and left back position. Alves has also played a lot of football and he needs the rest just like most of the Barcelona
players.
Xavi Hernandez is a crucial player for Barcelona but http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Thiago-c34888 Alcantara looks to be a promising replacement for the Spanish maestro. Andres Iniesta has returned from his injury so Guardiola should play him in the midfield along with Sergio Busquets, who has
not played a lot of games recently.
Barcelona have a lot of players who can perform in the midfield. The Malian midfielder, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Santos-c32532 can also play for the Spanish side as a midfielder in the second half.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Racing-c40298 Santander,
Guardiola can easily ask Messi to rest while Andres Iniesta, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/David-Villa-c10629 can play as the front three.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 are currently going through a lot of injury crises and Guardiola has to make sure no more injuries occur for the Spanish Champions. In order to do that, Guardiola will have to play a relatively weaker team on Saturday.
