Flick proves the possible XI vs Valencia in Barcelona training: two key stars to rest

Before the draw in the quarterfinals of the Copa del Rey on Thursday against Valencia, the manager of Barcelona, ​​Hansi Flick, is considering several rotations to administer the minutes of his team.

The German tactic admitted so much in his press conference prior to the party, saying: “It is normal for us to think about rotations. We play at 9.30 pm and we can’t travel from Valencia, which means we’ll be late.

“Then we have a game in Seville and we have to think about the players. There may be rotations. “

Possible initial alignment tests

Now, according to Sports WorldHansi Flick has already tested the possible initial alignment that will take the field against Valencia in Mestalla during today’s training.

Based on the team that tested in the training session prior to Wednesday’s match, the German coach could give the veteran striker Robert Lewandowski a break in the attack and opt for Ferran Torres as the central striker.

Torres made a significant contribution during the 7-1 victory over Valencia last month in the League, scoring a goal and leading the press from the front. And it seems that tomorrow he will receive the approval upon his return to Mestalla with Raphinha and Lamine Yamal.

Meanwhile, Flick will opt for the central match of Pau Cubarsi and Eric García, who began in that game against Valencia, which means that Ronald Araujo is another great name that will rest.

Wojciech Szczesny will continue in the goal ahead of Inaki Pena, while Jules Kounde and Alejandro Balde are also likely to keep their places.

Moving, Frenkie de Jong seems to be ready to return to the center of the countryside, where it will be associated with Pedri, who lost the previous game against Valencia due to a stomach virus.

In the center of the attacking field, Fermin López is online to start with discarded Gavi and Dani Olmo only returns from an injury.

Therefore, according to the alignment film tested in the final training session before facing Valencia, Barcelona would establish the following:

Szczesny; KOUNDE, Eric, Cooking, bucket; Jong, Pedri, Fermin; Yamal, Ferran Torres and Raphinha.
