The Barça is going to extreme the controls these days so that no more cases arise. Thus, the number of CRPs could be increased to monitor the evolution of the players after those two positives from the staff. The team led by Ronald Koeman plays this Wednesday, Three Kings Day, (9:00 p.m.) in San Mamés against Athletic Bilbao, in which Marcelino debuts, the postponed match of the second day of the League, which the Catalans began to play later after participating in the eight-eighth final of the Champions in Lisbon, the 2-8 disaster against Bayern.
