Dembélé falls off the list due to some discomfort in the pubis

Ronald Koeman he's not having luck with injuries this season. When he is not in the box in defense, he is in attack or vice versa. Right now, the Dutch coach has practically run out of strikers to face the game against Getafe. And it is that the loss of Martin Braithwaite, who suffered a sprained right ankle during the session on Tuesday, has joined this Thursday that of Ousmane Dembélé, for a few discomfort in the pubis that has been dragging on for a long time.

Braithwaite and Dembélé, who add to the long-term casualties of Philippe Coutinho and Ansu Fati, leave a bleak outlook for Koeman in attack, as He only has three forwards available: Leo Messi, Antoine Griezmann and Francisco Trincao. Hence, it has included in the call the attacker of the subsidiary, Konrad de la Fuente.

In any case, with the new drawing that Koeman has implanted in recent games, 3-5-2, he only uses two attackers, so in principle it is not as traumatic a situation as the one he experienced a few months ago in defense , with half a low line.

Speaking of defenses, Koeman has everyone available, eight players from the first team plus Oscar Mingueza from the subsidiary, so he could give the alternative to a player who has not had many minutes in recent games, such as the Uruguayan center-back Ronald Araújo, to the detriment of a Gerard Piqué, who made a great effort in the Cup final, playing infiltrated in the right knee.

Another player who has options to start tonight is Sergi Roberto. He already added his first minutes in the Cup final and could replace Sergiño Dest on the right wing, since the American accumulates many wear in these last games.

Once again they will have to go with a lot careful both Leo Messi and De Jong, since They have been playing with fire for two months, being one card away from the penalty. And the thing is that the next game after Getafe is the visit to Villarreal, one of the most complicated trips that the team has left between now and the end of the season.

Koeman is still unable to count on goalkeeper Neto, so has summoned the goalkeepers of the subsidiary, Iñaki Peña and Arnau Tenas, who joinsn to Óscar Mingueza, Ilaix Moriba and Konrad de la Fuente, among the young homegrown players who formn part of the summoned list.

The complete list of footballers to play this Thursday(twenty-one hours) before the Getafe on the Camp Nou andIt is made up of: Ter Stegen, Dest, Junior, Lenglet, Pique, Sergi Roberto, Araújo, Sunrise, Umtiti, By Jong, Busquets, Pjanic, Matheus, Pedri, Riqui Puig, Griezmann, Messi, Trincao,Tenas, Peña, Ilaix, From the sourceY Mingueza.
