As previously stated, Frenkie de Jong has been discharged and is on Xavi Hernández's list to face Celta at the Camp Nou tomorrow night (9pm). The Dutchman had been training with the group in recent days and is now fully recovered. In addition, the players of the subsidiary Marc Casadó and Chadi Riad also enter the list.
De Jong had missed the last two games with Barcelona, against Mallorca in the League, and against Inter in the Champions League, due to a hamstring injury that occurred during the last national team break, when he was injured in a game of the Nations League with the Netherlands.
It is the only good news for the Terrassa coach, who continues with the infirmary overflowing. Barcelona accumulates up to six casualties, three of them in the axis of defense, the position most affected by injuries. Without Araújo -who had to undergo surgery and could miss the World Cup-, nor Koundé, nor Christensen, the only central defenders that Xavi has are Eric Garcia and Piqué, for which he has also called Chadi Riad, from the subsidiary, to complete the announcement.
In addition to these three casualties, Barça also cannot count on Bellerín, Memphis Depay or Koundé, who is recovering faster than expected and could return to the team soon. Good news considering the important games that the team has to face with the duel against Inter and the classic just around the corner.
Ter Stegen, Gerard Piqué, Busquets, Dembélé, Pedri, Lewandowski, Ansu Fati, Ferran Torres, Marcos Alonso, Jordi Alba, Sergi Roberto, Frenkie de Jong, Raphinha, Eric Garcia, Iñaki Peña, Balde, Casadó, Gavi, Pablo Torre, Chadi Riyadh and Arnau Tenas.
