Koeman has not confirmed it, but hinted that in some of the next matches it will be: “We decided tomorrowto. He’s getting better every day, but he’s been off the pitch for a long time. You also have to think that there are three games this week and that the whole three cannot be played, you have to decide which one ”.

About the ‘Kun’ it was less categorical, although everything indicates that he will be in the call: “He has improved a lot, he did 20 or 25 minutes on Wednesday. It is going well, but it lacks, it lacks rhythm and physicality. This will earn you with minutes. It has a chance of being on the list. The most important thing for any player is that he is well and with minutes and he will be better, as has happened with Asu Fati. It can be very important for us due to its quality in the area ”.

Pedri’s future

Koeman showed himself, on the other hand, satisfied with the renovation from Pedri: “As a coach, you try to improve things, but in the end it depends on him, to know that he is young, that he must listen not only to the coach but also to the experienced people in the team. There are many young people with a future in the team. Clause of 1,000 million ?, I do not put the clauses ”.

From Lenglet, that i could play On Wednesday due to a lack of centrals, he highlighted his professionalism: “He does not play for technical reasons, it is true that he has suffered for a while with discomfort that sometimes they do not let him train, but he is a serious boy who trains and like others he has to take advantage of when he has the opportunity. I don’t have a single complaint, because it is an example of how he has to train and play despite his personal situation ”.

Asked by Busquets and his great Nations League, has commented that “we know where its quality is. We as a team can help him more, but Barça cannot be compared with the national team, it is different. You have to try to be compact ”.
