Koeman, very close to the recovery of one of his protagonists

Undoubtedly, injuries are one of FC Barcelona’s big problems this season, with a plague of physical problems leaving Ronald Koeman without too many resources on staff. Furthermore, in cases such as those of Ansu fati OR Gerard Piqué, will lose most of this season due to serious knee injuries.

Thankfully Ronald Koeman is very close to recovering a major player for this weekend’s game, which will take place this Sunday at noon (2pm on the Iberian Peninsula) in the Camp Nou and who will face FC Barcelona Osasuna. This is Sergio Busquets, in dry dock since the last stop in the national team due to a knee injury.

During the Spain-Switzerland match, Sergio Busquets suffered a sprain of the external lateral ligament of his left knee which caused him to miss the match. LaLiga Santander against him Atlético de Madrid is that of Champions League against him Dynamo Kiev. After two weeks of working out in the gym, the Catalan midfielder jumped on the grass of the Joan Gamper Sports City Exercise.

FC Barcelona ensures that “Sergio Busquets did some of the field work as part of his recovery”, which is why he may be ready to join the call to face Osasuna. Despite this, it is very likely that he will not start against Navarrese’s team and they are Frenkie de Jong and Sergio Busquets those who occupy the double pivot.

If in the end Ronald Koeman’s decision is to bet on the Dutchman as a midfielder with Miralem Pjanic, Óscar Mingueza would start again alongside Clément Lenglet on the axis of defense. Against Dynamo Kyiv, the youth teams performed at a very good level and, as a result, Ronald Koeman is likely to temporarily forget the idea of ​​betting on Frenkie de Jong as central defender and give the youngsters the alternative.

On the other hand, it would not be excluded that the Dutchman played central with Clément Lenglet, which would give Sergio Busquets the opportunity to enter as a starter with Miralem Pjanic. However, even so the Badía midfielder’s ownership would not have been safe since then Carles Aleñá He made a good game as a midfielder and could repeat alongside the Bosnian if Frenkie de Jong delays his position.

Sergio Busquets is still important
