The problems in the form of injuries in the defense of Barcelona seem to have no end. During the match against Valencia, it was Eric García first and then Jules Koundé who requested the change due to different muscular problems. In the absence of a few weeks for the World Cup, these injuries could make both serious doubts for the competition with their respective teams, although after the game Xavi downplayed both problems.
Following initial investigations, the club issued a statement confirming that Eric's discomfort was in his thigh. "The first team player Eric Garcia has some discomfort in the inguinal area of his left thigh. Tests are pending to find out the exact extent of the injury."
Marcos Alonso was chosen by Xavi to replace the central player from Granollers in a new muscle injury for the Barça team. The bad news was reproduced in the 72nd minute, when the French Jules Koundé went to the ground and requested the change immediately.
In this case the sensations were even worse, although the Frenchman said after the game that it was simply discomfort and that he hoped that the problems in the hamstring area of his left leg were not so serious. In his place entered, this time yes, Gerard Hammered.
Right now Barça only has a capable central defender. This is Gerard Piqué, although Xavi has opted for Marcos Alonso to play in that position against Valencia, as he did in the match against Bayern.
