Luis Enrique overtakes Koeman: Alba and Sergi Roberto, out

Luis Enrique has been ahead of Ronald Koeman in the pending revolution that exists with several pillars of Barcelona. The Spanish coach has today given the list of summoned to play against Germany and Ukraine on September 3 and 6 within the League of Nations and has left Jordi Alba and Sergi Roberto out of it. The Asturian coach has shown once again that neither of them are fixed for him since, since he has led the National Team in two different stages, both players have entered and left their lists for various reasons.

His decision, one year after the Euro, comes at a very delicate moment for both Jordi Alba and Sergi Roberto. The winger, a member of the strong core of the Barça dressing room, has a difficult time staying at the Camp Nou due to his performance this season. Although he has a valid contract, Bartomeu did not mention him among the non-transferable players. Sergi Roberto, for his part, has already had conversations throughout this year with Manchester City and it seems that he is not part of the new manager's plans either.

Luis Enrique has also given his opinion regarding the other Barça players who can be called up. As for Piqué, it was he who left the National Team a long time ago, with Busquets he has been blunt. He is back in his squad, not caring that the midfielder has just started his vacation, which he will have to shorten, after playing the Champions League in August and despite the fact that he is one of the footballers most challenged by the image offered by the Blaugrana team against Bayern in Lisbon (2-8). In addition, the coach bets on one of the homegrown players who will have to pull the cart from now on in the new era that Barça is entering: Ansu Fati, after going through the U-21, will have his opportunity with the Absolute.
