Ter Stegen and Rafinha, great news about the call
After victories over Osasuna and Alaves Barça wants a third win in a row, to complete the confirmation of the excellent state of mind and form that the Barça team is experiencing. A home win over Granada would put them just three points from second place busy with Girona, who lost during the visit to the Santiago Bernabeu.
In a match so important for Coolers’ interests, Xavi Hernandez will be able to count on two key figures for the team: Marc Andre ter Stegen and Rafinha. The return of the German wall and the sharp Brazilian striker will be new weapons for the growing team. But the Egarense coach, in addition to the injured one, will not be able to count on Vitor Roque, who will serve a sanction corresponding to the double yellow seen in the match with Alaves.
Thus, with damages in the case of Ter Stegen and Rafinha, F. De Jong, Gundogan, Kunde, Lamin Yamal, M. Casado, Kochen, Kubarsi, Pau Victor, Mark Giu and H. Fort.
Ter Stegen, almost three months later
The German goalkeeper will return to action after suffering an injury with Germany during the last international break in November. A back injury kept him from playing all this time. Xavi will finally be able to count on being named the most valuable player of last season in the league. Ter Stegen’s return will provide the necessary experience and criteria between the sticks at a key stage of this season.
Rafinha, more offensive resources
The Brazilian winger will play again for Barcelona a month after his injury. Barça’s number 11 missed up to eight games due to a muscle injury suffered in the match against Osasuna in the semi-finals of the Spanish Super Cup. Raphinha will providentially play on the right flank along with Lamin Yamal. Another attacking blow for Barca, who will need a variety of attacking resources in the coming months.
